    Drawing (but not detracting) from at least two threads

    * Private/Public Unread Bookmarks for Research
    http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/private-public-unread-bookmarks-for-research-7338

    * group view of annotations excludes annotations that are public
    http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/group-view-of-annotations-excludes-annotations-that-are-public-8588

    and considering the expression 'Share to…' in situations such as this:


    I always imagined that the _one_ thing being shared was:

    * the bookmark

    In fact:

    * the bookmark seems to duplicated, triplicated or more - depending on the number of groups and/or lists to which a URL is added.

    The words:

    heffalump
    glockenspiel
    xylophone

    appear at, respectively:
    http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http://280slides.com
    http://groups.diigo.com/search?group_name=web2tools&what=glockenspiel
    http://groups.diigo.com/search?group_name=Web2&what=xylophone

    Relating this topic to another topic - 
    http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/group-view-of-annotations-excludes-annotations-that-are-public-8588 - it will help me to visualise things if Diigo can describe (ideally, sketch):

    * how the public word 'heffalump' might be communicated to the two public groups.

    No rush.

    http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/private-public-unread-bookmarks-for-research-7338#27 prompts another test:

    1. http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin

    2. focused on my bookmark for 280 Slides - 'Create & Share Presentations Online'

    3. clicked 'Edit'

    4. in the Tags: field, entered "give me those ruby slippers", clicked 'Save'

    5. http://about.diigo.com/about/show?url=http%3A%2F%2F280slides.com is wearing ruby slippers

    6. http://groups.diigo.com/search?group_name=Web2&what=xylophone is barefoot

    7. http://groups.diigo.com/search?group_name=web2tools&what=glockenspiel is barefoot.

    Both groups are public, but both group views omit my public tagging of the page.

    I have an open mind. No rush :)

    Those bookmarks are owned by different people, so those are in fact multiple bookmarks.

    What you are suggesting is a "community" bookmark, which is a completely different beast all together from the original posted problem. Group bookmarks have to be duplicates of the original personal bookmark, because you no longer own that once you post it. They become community property.

    The original post http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/private-public-unread-bookmarks-for-research-7338#1

    * did refer to groups
    * did not refer to lists.

    I describe sharing to a group; that's the expression that's used by Diigo, and it's an expression that I doubt/query, hence the title of this topic:

    >> Diigo expressions 'Share to…' and 'Add to…' are
    >> debatably misleading; the actual results are more like 'Duplicate/Triplicate…'

    Key points: debatably, misleading

    The debate is interesting (I confess, frustrating, though I'm laughing about it ;) and I suspect that both you and I are misled, perhaps in ways that neither of us realise!

    > Group bookmarks … become community property.

    That's logical :) and from the unintended loss of metadata highlighted at http://www.diigo.com/annotated/a22fbc628ad7cb842fd9d86852d08036 we see that the Diigo workflows/UIs applicable to group assets will benefit from some refinement.

    Best,
    Graham

    Postscript: we have in these topics some shining examples of some of what's highlighted at http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue57/stevenson - learning through exploration, etc..
