My Experiences with Diigo
This weekend, we were assigned to sign up for a Diigo account and try it out and take some notes. The sign up process was simple, however, I was a bit irked that I had to install an extension into my browser to be able to use it--a minor inconvenience, but worth mentioning. The site itself is well-designed and easy to navigate and use. To test out Diigo, I took notes on an article about Frederick Jackson Turner. I found that there are four different colors that one can use to highlight things, so I decided to use yellow for general note-taking and blue for words I do not know the meaning of. I find the sticky note feature particularly useful for attaching definitions to such words as I encounter them. All in all, I like Diigo so far.

As I have said in class, you should not feel compelled to use this thing. It is a tool that I have found useful. The extension for Firefox is the easiest addition to a browser that I have found for it. Google's is a bit klunky. It is not an absolute necessity to establish an extension, but it does make using Diigo a lot easier.
