BlinkList has a 'quick start page' feature to create a customised full-page multi-column view of your favourite bookmarks. I use this as my browser homepage. I would like to see something similar added to diigo. It could be as simple as a personal url that shows all of our public lists at once, expanded.

A more exciting idea would be a gadget for iGoogle. User could add several of these gadgets to his iGoogle page and configure each one by simply selecting a diigo list or tag whose contents it should display. This is almost already catered for by Google's standard RSS feed gadget and diigo feeds, but it is clumsy to set up and crippled by the 10-feed-item limit and slow feed-refresh rate.

Without one of these options, it will be difficult to fully migrate from BlinkList.
