Again, one of the main things we are exploring is combine.

How would you combine some of the best features of facebook with some of the best features of diigo?

As one person put it to me about Diigo "Its like using a Cadillac to transport watermelons" ... the diigo tool is really great, but the use to which it is put is very limiting ...

Trying to highlight this article: The Last Brother has run into a few issues:

(1) I tried to share this url: http://pajamasmedia.com/richardfernandez/2009/08/30/the-last-brother/
(2) Richard shared this url: http://pajamasmedia.com/richardfernandez/2009/08/30/the-last-brother/comment-page-2

This confuses Diigo.

Other issues:

(3) When you highlight something to share with others, it posts it in Diigo as if it is your own thoughts, instead of someone else thoughts. This is problematical in multiple ways (a) Copyright issues (b) attribution of others thoughts to you.

The purpose of this forum is to conduct an experiment for one week of how a social website works.

After the experiment is done, this group will be closed.

This experiment is motivated by Without Borders

The Belmont Club has a fatal flaw. It is trapped in the dimension of ideas. Within its pages a dozen possibilities struggle to escape.

Also how the Belmont Club in Houston group is organizing for a get together. [Maybe this will help me meet people in the Boston/Nashua area for a get together in this area also]

First, I want to discuss how to escape being trapped in the dimension of ideas. Get creative solutions from people.

Second, I want to evaluate the Diigo platform. Since this is social software, I need to get others to interact with me, here, to do a proper evaluation:

Is the experience enjoyable?

What could be improved?

Third, Off course I also have hidden motives ... but that's for me to know & you to find out ;-P
