If you ask me, the ff plugin for Delicious is so much better and less intrusive than Diigo’s.

I tend to concur with this article – my patterns of use are enhanced by Diigo… I never really found benefit from the other tools like Delicious but Diigo works for my needs.

And I think that’s all a part of customising your web use – the ability to push and pull from other sites (like Delicious) tends to mean that your personal preferences are catered for but the ability to network is still there.

I’ve written an article about Diigo, with some comparisons to Delicious, inspired by this article: 10 Reasons Why Diigo Leaves a Bad Aftertaste : http://www.ghodmode.com/diigo-bad-aftertaste

As I also stated in the article, I’m not contradicting this article. I just wanted to offer a different perspective.

I’ve had the same problem – importing bookmarks from delicious, but not getting the tags (Friday, Apr 24, 2009) as I opened my diigo account. Were you able to find a solution for megamike? I’ve tried opening an imported bookmark and re-typing the tags (as “edit”), but that hasn’t added tags in diigo either. Sure hate to lose all of those tags.

Thanks magno for your reply. I have posted my problems in the Diigo group so hopefully somebody kind enough could address them.

3/ After Firefox reloaded last time, the Sidebar has been restoring properly. My bad.

Regarding #1, by default the shortcut is something else. Unlike Delicious, you can customize the keyboard shortcut to whatever you want and it works for me fine. Go to Diigo Options > Keyboard and you can see what the current shortcut is AND change it if you wish.

Thanks for the insight but it is missing some very basic features I enjoyed in delicious.

1/ the bookmarks are not by default bookmarked by the keyboard short ctrl+d. I cannot get this to work using the most uptodate firefox addon either. I set it to ctrl+d but I cannot press OK.

2/ the search is not a live search in sidebar: when you type tags, it does not automatically filter the list. you have to press Enter.

3/ the sidebar is not enabled by default. Opening Firefox again doesn’t restore the sidebar from previous session.

I have tried Diigo back and forth the last 2 years. I search for a more avanced reference/bookmarker than delicious, and Diigo alvays looked promising. But I never really felt that Diigo had “it”.

One thing i really miss, and that is the same in the most bookmarking services, is the ability to save formatted textsnippets to every bookmnarket. Or in comments or sticky notes. Raw text really doesnt match todays standards. You want to have space and paragraphs to make it readable.

This would be a great feature, to have the ability to clip some content in rich text format or at least paragraphs and headlines with the bookmarks. Like some notetaking. I dont think this is an advanced feature – for example Trailfire has rick text formatting in their “sticky notes”.. As it is now – both notes and highlighted booknarked text is strictly limited when only handling nonformatted text and looks ugly and is mixed with tags etc in the bokkmarks list when trying to clip webcontent with the bookmarket. Its hard to get structured, and you cant use the important clip and paste function.

I think Diigo would be fantastic if they could include adding of rich text format fields with the bookmarket. That would make an enormous improvement.Also if the tag-suggestions could be better I believe in Diigo, really, and a there is really a need for a more advanced reference/bookmarking service than delicious more simple “thing”- I think Diigo is the right vendor to fullfill this need!

But As it is now – I use a extention (zotero) to firefix fÃ¶r my reference needs, combined with google notes, It works pretty good but is partly limited to my local browser. it would be really great if I could use Diigo in the future instead!

I can’t speak for Heather but what keeps me with delicious is the sheer number of people I know who use it. We all share items of interest amongst each other, which is probably the most useful function of delicious for me.

As the social aspect of online services increases, its harder to keep jumping from one to another without losing people at each hop, all of which leads to a diminished social integration.
