I am a very visual and active learner. I draw circles around words or phrases, highlight pertinent passages, make marginal marks and notes, or draw small doodles so I can visualize a concept. I make arrows that connect similiar ideas, draw stars next to passages that I hope I’ll be able to find again, or stick post-it notes on pages I want to visit again. This method of absorbing information does not work with online texts. —Moira Richardson —Bound for Glory – the future of print (Literary Tease)

That’s two endorsements for Diigo… sounds like I’m going to have to try it out soon. Thanks for your comment, Katherine.
Oh, but it will, and in fact it already does.
Diigo, an installable feature of the new firefox browser, allows a reader of an online text to highlight and add virtual post-it notes to text on a webpage, all of which are visible when the reader returns to the page. (I just noticed that someone has pointed this out in the comments of the original post.) I suspect the stars and doodles are only a matter of time.
My reading habits are similarly kinesethetic, and I love diigo. And while I’m also an unrepentent bibliophile, I do think that online tools are going to increasingly enrich and support an active reading practice.
