Interesting site (DIIGO) !…….Nevertheless I think I will stick with Delicious.
I have been using it (delicious) for quite some time and so far so good !

Bye

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.

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

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

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.

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 РI use a extention (zotero) to firefix f̦r 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!

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.

* sad, eh? ;-)

Diigo FF toolbar is fully customizable – here is how: http://tinyurl.com/3p9b5g
Of course, you can also try the lightweight Diigolet – a bookmarklet with the core diigo functions http://www.diigo.com/tools/diigolet

We’re constantly working to make Diigo better and better. And shortly we will be introducing a whole array of cool services. So stay tuned, as we continue to evolve :-)

I tried Diigo and BlinkList a while back. Although the features of Diigo are appealing i really didn’t like the massive toolbar (firefox plugin) – i found it slow and cumbersome. So i stayed with trusty delicious. Anyway I wasn’t not really looking for better features i just wanted somewhere to keep my ‘marks. Also i found the Diigo site kept on going down.

Good post anyway, there were some features i’d forgotten about. If i get a quicker machine maybe i’ll give it another go.
