PENZU - FREE Personal Journal or Online Diary

Penzu is an online diary and personal journal that is focused on privacy. With a unique and compelling user experience, it makes writing online as easy and intuitive as writing on a pad of paper.

Penzu offers a secure place to store your thoughts and ideas in the cloud. Not only are entries password protected in an online account, but individual entries can be locked with military-grade encryption.
With powerful security also comes extreme ease of use. The core component of the interface is the Pad - a metaphor for a pad of paper. This universal design element has allowed Penzu to transcend language and cultural barriers as people from 170 countries continue to use the service. Penzu has made the user experience a top priority and it is one of the main differentiations from complicated and confusing competitors.

The name, Penzu, comes from many influences, but mainly it is a derivative of the Latin "pensare" which means to think or be full of thought.

Here is what the journal/diary page looks like:

The Plagiarism Checker

The Plagiarism Checker detects the plagiarized text or chunks of a text in your students assignments such as essays, articles …etc .Information has become accessible to almost everyone.  With a single click, students are able to download a whole ebook into their computers and exchange files and documents with a lightening speed . But I am afraid this technology boom has also brought around some negative side effects, i.e. "Cut and Paste."

How do I use

The Plagiarism Checker ?

Just go to The Plagiarism Checker main page . You will find a box there where you can paste the suspected text or paragraph you have copied and click on “ check the paper” button and that’s it.  Under the box it will state whether they think it is plagiarized or not.
