Even deep purple can be sophisticated. Imagine how gorgeous this dining room would be at night lit by the chandelier. The dark purple is such a rich color.

Tags help you find and organize your bookmarks by letting you select all of your bookmarks with a certain tag or combination of tags. Quickly add relevant tags to a bookmark by clicking on any of the recommended tags that appear under the description field on the “Save Bookmark” pop-up. When you are satisfied with the information in the “Save Bookmark” pop-up, click the “Save Bookmark” button. Now a link to the page is stored in your Diigo library, and the information you entered is stored with it.

Highlight Highlighting lets you denote important information on a page, just like highlighting in a book, but with Diigo, the highlighted text will be conveniently saved to your library as well. There are some important things for me to denote on my recipe. My wife doesn’t like pineapple, my grandfather can’t have eggs or chocolate, and I don’t like coconut very much, so I highlight those items on the recipe to let me know I need to deal with them. Highlight by clicking “Highlight” on the Diigolet. Then select the text you want to highlight. The text will be visually highlighted and the text is now stored in your library. It’s that easy. Click the button again to exit highlighter mode. You can also change the color of a highlight by clicking the downward-pointing arrow next to “Highlight” and choosing a color. Colors are useful for differentiating different types of highlights. I will use a different color for each of the different people I need to consider.

To add a sticky note to a highlight, simply move your mouse cursor over a highlight. When the little pop-up tab with the pencil on it appears, move the cursor to it and a menu will appear. Choose “Add Sticky Notes”. Now you can type and post a sticky note just like before, but this time it will be tied to the highlighted text.

London is abuzz this week with the hustle and bustle of the world’s creative elite gathering for the design event of the year—the London Design Festival. For the last nine years, UK’s most remarkable designers rule the city over nine days of events, talks and installations in every design field from graphics to furniture to interior designs. With over 200 partners hosting more than 280 events across 25 design disciplines, there is something for anyone looking to be awed and inspired. London’s mayor Boris Johnson is a big fan of the Festival. He says, “The London Design Festival is the most vivid possible proof that London is the hub of the creative industries of the world.”

Destinations With only nine days to see it all, many opt to spend a chunk of time at the destination spots where a collective of hundreds of designers, vendors and products show their designs. Popular design destinations include 100% Design London, Decorex International, designjunction and Tramshed 2011. Smaller venues include Marcel Wanders’ White Building playing house with all of the latest Moooi creations. Dezeen via
