• I learn better when I’m active as I read. I love to have a pen or highlighter in my hand when I study. It helps me identify points of reference and make outlines of the subject material to get a better grip on a topic. Diigo helps me to do all of that on the Worldwide Web, and version 4.0 has just been released, adding features and making the experience even better.

• Once you have Diigo’s Firefox extension installed, select the words you wish to highlight, and right click. Diigo has added “Highlight” and “Bookmark and Highlight” to the context menu. Select “Highlight”, and Diigo will highlight the selected words green. You can change the color to blue, pink or yellow from the Diigo menu later.
• I can share my notes and highlights with non-Diigo users by selecting “Get annotated link” from Diigo’s drop-down menu. This allows me to give others comments on their work without them having to sign up to Diigo.

As a reader, I became a little confused in the character's second attempt to solve the problem. The twist seems to create another plot line. Writers try to connect new information back to the central idea for the reader. Is there a way you can clarify this idea? If it doesn't tie in smoothly, you may want to modify it. So let's talk this through. How could you connect the part about the character finding the highly confidential space vessel?"
