I'd love to be able to use diigo, but I don't store my bookmarks locally. I use blinklist. I signed in to Blinklist, just to make sure, I clicked on Import (here on diigo), then Import from Blinklist button, then entered username/password, etc., then clicked on Import Now button. Nothing happens. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've attempted this. Yes, I'm signed into Blinklist, yes, browser is cleared and all the rest, and yes, I've tried signing out and back in again, closing the browser altogether, etc. It isn't difficult to do (I just don't want to waste anyone's time thinking I haven't done everyrhing I could do or perhaps I'm not doing it right).
I tried to work around it by just exporting from Blinklist to a file, then importing to local browser, but then all bookmarks lose tags (and I have over 1500) when imported to Diigo, and that's besides all the extra and unncessary characters that show up in each link that I'd have to clean up. Anyway, I don't want to do it this way, and since you do offer the option to import directly from Blinklist, I'd like to be able to use it.
Anyone have any ideas? I see nowhere on the site to leave feedback, to get support - this was the only place to leave this information.
Thanks for any help with this!
We are looking into what happened to "Import from blinklist" feature.
Thanks.
Same problem here.
Just signed up today with Diigo and have attempted twice to import Blinklist links with no success. I have over 6400 links at Blinklist and do not want to re-tag.
I'd also like to know what if anything I can do to see a successfull Blinklist import. From what I've seen thus far, Diigo looks pretty impressive. Several features that I'm seeking/missing at Blinklist.
Thanks for looking into this, Joel.
I'm hoping you can post here when it's resolved so we can try again.
Best, Pamela
Joel,
Wanted to let you know that I was able to successfully import my Blinklist links over the weekend.
Really enjoying the site and service thus far.
