    Hi,

    Firstly, just want to say - fantastic product, and it's just getting better. So far, I've barely scratched the surface of what it can do, as I've only been using it for private bookmarking. But even there, it's way ahead, IMO.

    I do have one question though. At the moment, it looks like I can either make the list private or public, but nothing in between. I'd really like to be able to make lists private/public at different levels, including:
    - only me
    - contact lists (this one would make a huge difference to me)
    - groups
    - all diigo users
    - everyone

    Is this something that's already possible, and I'm just missing it? If not, is it something you think you can/will include?

    Many thanks,

    Dena

    Hi Dena,
    Thanks for your suggestion. You can send the secret web address which is below the title of a private list to others. All recipients can access your private list in this way.
    It's an interesting idea to share lists with contact lists. We will give it more thoughts.

    Thanks Joel.

    I was fooling around with lists last night, and discovered the same approach that you've suggested.

    I did wonder, though - how private is a secret url? Might it be possible for someone to accidentally discover one of my private lists, without being invited? My partner mentioned search-bots (not something I know about), and I just thought I'd ask...

    Cheers,

    Dena

    Don't worry, robots from google or other search engines can only access your public list. However, if your recipients post the secret url to public place, such as a blog, others may see your list content by clicking the link from the blog.
