Diigo Anyone?

As I was going through this week's assigned readings, I wanted to try to do so without printing them.   The problem is that I like to highlight and make notes on my documents when I read them.

I decided to revisit diigo.com which is a bookmarking tool I used for another class a few semesters back.  I recall using it to highlight web pages and add sticky notes with comments.  I tried to do this with the produsage article but the highlighter tool wouldn't work.  Could it be because this is a .pdf file?   Does anyone know how to use this?   Or is there another bookmarking/annotation tool anyone could recommend? I'd like to be a little greener and save a few trees.

  1. I don't think Diigo works on PDFs -- seem to recall searching their site to find out about that a while back.

    There are various PDF annotation programs. One that comes to mind is called skim and I think that it is generally well liked. And I think the papers program (Mac only?) also supports annotations. I know there are others -- a google search will probably yield a variety of them.
