Module 3 - Web 2.0

LOG ENTRY:
what do you think are the differences between the two? what are the benefits? which format do you think you would like better and why? (Allen et al. n.d.)

I personally like Diigo web site more than HTML version, I find it easy to look at and comfortable to read and understand between the headings, sub-headings and the information. Diigo is more user friendly web site compare to HTML version, the way the Diigo presented look very neat and organised, the structure and format are easy to focus on and much faster to find what you looking for.

The reasons I find HTML version are difficult for me to look at are the colour and the structure. HTML version page contain blue colour headings, black sub-headings and white colour background which is very hard to read. The structure from top all the way down to bottom are the same, let’s imagine this HTML version contain more than thousand of information, will you still continue to search what you looking from top to bottom? To me HTML version is very hard to focus especially on wide screen. HTML version should have bold the headings, larger some font and put some spacing in between the paragraph, I believe it will be much better. Over all HTML page is quite user friendly because it is simple web page with headings and sub-headings, the only thing is difficult to focus to look and read.

I have try to print on paper to compare the Diigo and HTML version and I found that Diigo remain the same as easy to look at and surprisingly HTML version is much more easy to read and look at from the print out instead of reading from the screen. This could be my personal reference but I do prefer to read HTML version from print out, al thought everything same from the screen but print version more easy to focus to read in between the headings and sub-headings.

You can found dates, bookmarks, annotations and much more from Diigo and these are very important for people to find out what they want. HTML version have nothing at all, therefore you won’t know the article you reading is up-to-date or long time ago.
