Technology is becoming more portable and smaller. Jump drives with files AND portable applications.  Ms Hertel showed iGoogle, pageflakes and netvibes. Pageflakes and netvibes pages can be shared, which iGoogle does not allow. Netvibes allows you to create groups whic makes it most useful.  In netvibes, you have the option of making things public or private, so you can hide certain tabs if you are sharing your page.

Diigo is like "delicious on steroids". You can make lists and highlight parts of page and bookmark them, as well as comment on the bookmark. Anything you add to diigo automatically gets added to delicious and magnolia - this is something you set in your preferences or settings.  Diigo creates webslides as well. I'll have to give it a try!

Diigo looks beyond impressive. I had signed up for an account before their promo video had been playing for 60 seconds.
