I am trying to import from Furl (by providing my Furl username and password), but diigo only imports 30 something bookmarks out of the 150 or so that I have in Furl.

Any ideas?

Furl didn't provide API, so the imports feature may not stable enough. To work around it:
1. Export furl bookmarks manually and import them in to your FF/IE bookmarks.
2. Use Diigo toolbar to import bookmarks in FF/IE into your diigo account

I found the problem - Furl does not export bookmarks which are marked as private. For anyone else that wants to export from Furl to Diigo (or any other app), make sure your Furl bookmarks are marked as public and also make sure the Furl topics that those bookmarks belong to are also marked as public.

The only other discrepency between the Furl bookmark count and the imported bookmark count was due to duplicated bookmarks (identical URLs).
