Twitter



An interesting video to introduce Twitter

Diigo

Diigo is an online collaboration tool for learning. Learners share there online bookmarks with the community and attach annotation to show their understanding of the text.

Problem : When I install Diigo on my IE browser, the entire browser hangs. After several failed attempts, I uninstalled the programme. Fortunately, my IE browser is back to normal again. Need to find out from other users if they face similar issues with Diigo.
