Does anyone else find the excessive advertising on Diigo annoying. It's in my Dashboard now and nearly fills my sidebar. Everywhere I go on the site, I'm bombarded. I understand the necessity of displaying ads, but please make some tasteful decisions about quantity and location. I was going to introduce my students to Diigo, but I think I'll look for less commercialized alternatives.
I agree - there are so many ads... :(
They can be on lists and for anonymous visitors, but they are too disturbing for real Diigo users.
Maybe there could be some "pro" accounts, like on last.fm. I'm sure that users would like to support Diigo directly (and get more friendly environment).

sorry that there do seem to be a little too many ads now. Please bear with us as we are experimenting with monetization models. The ads should be reduced over time, and yes, there will be a pro account option.

count me in as interested :-)
Is this happening anytime soon? I'd like to be able to use Diigo in a public school setting but can't with the ads. I'd be willing to pay for a pro version.

Me too! I'm using Diigo in an academic setting, and the ads really don't fit in with that. I'm looking forward to the speedy introduction of pro accounts.
Ooh. Well, I have Adblock so it's never a problem with me. I love the idea of a pro option, though.
Just to further show there is support for it, I would be thrilled to pay a nominal fee to remove the advertisements.
we hear you.
