A few days ago I was having a look through the companion site and checking out what the sugggested technologies were, I came aross Diigo and wasn't to sure what it was but thought i'd download it and have a play. Well at the time I wish I hadn't downloaded it but I had so much hassle with it. At first I followed all the link of the home page of the website and it downloaded okay but when it came to opening the program it wouldn't let me, it kept telling me to reset the computer so it could finish it's downloads. When I tried to do this my computer would not close down at all, I decided to  ask my sister what she thought and she said I may have downloaded a virus if nothing I did would shut down the system, this scared me a little. I then texted Lisa another student at Murdoch in this unit and ask her if she had any problems with the downloading process, but she said no everything had gone smoothly. So I elimated the chance of it being a virus even though I had already thought this would be extremely unlikely considering the website came from Murdoch's recommedation. So by this time I had enouugh and closed my computer down via the power button.

I came back to it a few hours later, nice and fresh and my computer opened up perfectly and all the links for diigo worked. So no one or myself knows why these problems occured but it's all working now. I have now been experimenting with Diigo for the last few days and have actually found it to be useful. The program allows you to highlight, bookmark, send things  to social networking sites, save bits and pieces off webpage's and read them later and has an easy to use favourites and library. 

I have actually used Diigo mostly for another unit I am currently in called creativity and innovation as I had to do a lot of reading and research for an essay I have just completed. Diigo came in handy for highlight and saving information that I could use to put into my assignment. I haven't yet used it for this unit but I'm sure I will need it at some point.

Just below here I have used Jing to do a screen capture of the Diigo toolbar, just do give you an idea of how it looks.
