    I find the new combination of
    Diigo 4.0 beta online + Diigolet
    far richer than limiting myself to Firefox.



    an awesome way to share bookmarks and annotations

    I'm using Diigo with Chrome and the new Diigolet.


    Andy Brudtkuhl on 2009-09-29
    The diigo bar is a great tool


    Adrian Try on 2009-09-29
    I'd stopped using the toolbar, but I may have to start again to get the highlighter tool and the multiple colours.


    Bakari C on 2009-09-29
    It's because of Diigo, I might switch back to Firefox because I want the full menubar features.



    Zoli Erdos on 2009-09-29
    Is this still true? Full text search does not seem to work on items I saved weeks ago



    Adrian Try on 2009-09-29
    The highlighter functionality and multiple colours may get me working with the toolbar visible again.



    Andy Brudtkuhl on 2009-09-29
    Wooo! Been waiting for this!


    Bakari C on 2009-09-29
    Very nice. I was wondering the other night if there was an app for Diigo. Will it have annotation capabilities? That might be a lot to ask.

    I am pretty firmly stuck to Google Chrome, but I agree that the new toolbar does work quite nicely.


    Joel Liu on 2009-09-29
    I am also an active chrome user. Once it fully supports toolbar, we will develop a chrome toolbar.

    Take some time to familiarise yourself with all that's possible with Diigo online. You may find that the simple combination of Diigolet + Diigo is more flexible, more spacious, more powerful than what can be squeezed into a single toolbar or sidebar.


    Sean Brady on 2009-09-29
    Joel - To be honest I am not sure if I would install a toolbar in Chrome. I think that is one of the big reasons I am using it, no cluttering toolbars and extra stuff. I would really love to see more emphasis on pushing the boundaries of the bookmarklet. I wonder, could HTML 5 in Safari and Chrome be leveraged to create an uber bookmarklet?

    That's a massive amount and a disorienting mixture to be fed to the reader through such a small slot and there'll surely be more within the mass as people continue to comment on, draw highlights over, and stick notes to, Maggie's post.

    Paradoxically: the more that's written,

    * the less easy it becomes to read
    * the less easy it is to find the required subsection within that tiny slot
    * the lower the value.

    That's not an incentive to contribute.

    I sense that efforts have been made to ensure that proportions of Diigo Meta are suitable for netbooks with very limited displays - and forward looking design decisions such as that should be welcomed - but I'm concerned that overall usability is not as good as it should be.

    Simply: the opportunity to read comments, and for the public to add comments, is very unappealing.

    On the plus side: Diigo 4.0 is currently in beta :-) and it's early days, so this is everyone's opportunity to suggest sizes, shapes, mixtures, order etc…
