In My library I select a tag and then diigo shows me a list of related tags. I can select some of them to filter the search better. Well, in diigo v3 we have 2 usefull features that diigo v4 has lost.
a) A simply view of selected tags: In diigo v3 we can see in the top right which tags are marked or selected. Exactly we had two sites. One site to see the related tags and other site to see wich tags we have selected. In both sites we have the (+) and (-) symbol to add or remove some tag. In diigo v4 I don't have anything that shows me which tag I have selected, just the writted words in the tag search box. My opinion is that if the related tags are visible, the selected tags should to be visible too in the interface and not just in the search box.
b) The most usefull and intuitive for me that allows us to go back in the tag adding process. With the symbol (-) we can go back and remove some concrete tag and try again with other related tags.
Example of b)
Selecting science, diigo shows me some related tags with science like biology, interactive, education, resources, etc. I select the second tag interactive and later a third tag education. I have filtered my search by "science + interactive + education". And here begins the problem. What I have to do If I want to remove the tag "interactive" and change it for "resources"?
In diigo v3 we just have to remove the tag "interactive" by clicking (-) and then select the tag "resources", that's all, only two mouse movements, click (-) on interactive and click (+) on resources..This is the easiest and fastest way.
But, which is the way in diigo v4 to do the same process? The absence of (-) symbol force us to manually remove the tag in the search box. Go to the search box, put the mouse over the tag, delete manually the word with keyboard, push return key...too much steps for us. We have to use the mouse and keyboard. One click of mouse to put the cursor over the tag and two different keys to remove (backspace) and reload (return) the page. Not usefull I think.
This is my firs overview of diigo v4 and I am not entirely satisfied.
Hi graham, I think that my english is better that my last time, LOL
PD: I have seen that this new forum version doesn't autocomplete the tags when we are writting. That's right?
I don't understand many things, the older version has some problems and this new version has solved some of them but has created new problems and removed very usefull features.
I have a list of some features and interface changes that have gone to worst. I really don't understand what is the reason of this changes, if they are done consciusnes or perhaps a little lapsus.
I have a question, Why the scroll bar in my tag's list view has been removed?
I think that the scroll bar was usefull when we have a lot of tags.
The featue "my lists" is under "my tags". Try to go to your lists when all of your tags are visible. If you have a lot of tags in a list view, you will have to scroll too much time to go to "your lists".
Thanks Graham, this is usefull but I'd like a way without operators, I'd like and "advanced search menu". I know that older diigo versions had an advanced search menu but it disappeared in newest diigo versions, that's right?
My suggestion is... I would like to subscribe to other people's bookmarks in my diigo inbox, not by RSS feed. I usually do it with Google reader but I'm trying to do it directly with diigo interface, not using an external service.
Look: Top menu/Discover/Just in Top menu/Discover/Recommended bookmarks
Here I can see the most recent added bookmarks or get recommendations. But to do this I should to come to the user forum, I can't explore this features from my own profile
Conclusion: Just the people who come to this forum have the oportunity to discover this two features. I have been visiting this forum every day during a month, but I accidentaly discovered this features today.
Users can't predict that "top menu" features will change depending of the subdomain.
When I am browsing in "hot bookmarks list" there is not the "about" link to know who saves the URL, the tag cloud of this URL, related lists, the bookmark history, etc.
Why? I think tha this feature is very usefull and I'd like a rapid acces to "about" information in all the bookmarks
Here are the steps that I made to get aditional information of one "hot bookmark"
1/http://www.diigo.com/buzz/hot 2/I saw interesting URL --------- >googletools.barrow.wikispaces.net/ 3/ I was looking for the "about" of this bookmark in hot bookmarks page. 4/Desilusion :-( 5/Copy the URL 6/Type http://about.diigo.com/ 7/Paste the URL 8/Eureka :-)
Suggestion 1: Add "about" button beside the bookmarks in "hot bookmarks" page
Suggestion 2: Made the http://about.diigo.com/ visible in diigo web page, I explored diigo interface and I didn't find a direct link to about.diigo.com. I fortunately discovered this page in this forum via Graham.

Thanks Graham but I don't use Digolet, I am using toolbar. I know that exist other ways to know the "about" information but I think that the most easy, fastest and intuitive way is add the "about" button beside every bookmark.
I don't understand what is the reason why the "about" button just is visible in some diigo pages and not anothers. There have to be a logical reason.
I think that is important improve this feature in all bookmarks, mine, yours, gruops, lists, hot bookmarks, just in, recommended..for some reasons - Optimize time and productivity, - Intuitive an easy way => newbie and unexpert users can find this option without thinking the way to do it - Is the most natural way because we are used to find "about" button beside our bookmarks
I would like to can select different modes when I'm using my diigo account.
Full mode: I could see all my public and private activity, that's the normal mode we have in this time.
Silent or Public mode: Just seeing my public bookmarks and tags. It's usefull in my work or with family and friends when I show them something things saved in diigo. It allows to hide private bookmarks when other people are using or testing diigo in my laptop, for example.
I have saved the list "biology" from another user that has created it. But in my bookmarks there is not any signal or colour to differenciate my own bookmarks from the bookmark lists of others saved by me.
Here http://www.diigo.com/user/lamarck/biology+taxonomy?tab=250 You can see a bookmark named "biology", but it is actually a list created by other user.. Anyone who browse in my profile cannot differenciate if it is a bookmark list or a single bookmark.
I also cannot differentiate it. My suggestion is that diigo staff could add some signal, colour or text, to differenciate single bookmarks and bookmarks list in the section "my bookmarks".
1- Click on "bookmark" in my toolbar or click contextual menu of my mouse 2- Small window appears. In this window we can edit tags, desciption, mark as unread, private, add to lists..And the most important: we can edit the URL. I can delete this fragment /2009/07/introducing-google-chrome-os.html and save just this http://googleblog.blogspot.com/
In diigo web page, in "my bookmarks" we can edit each bookmark. We can change tags, tittle and description, but not the URL.
In one of my last saved bookmarks, I made a mistake in process of changing URL. Then, I had to delete the complete bookmark and start again from the beginning.
I know that's a stupid suggest, but I like optimization, productivity and intuitive options.
