When you click the "About" link for a bookmark, you can see who else has viewed the site. If someone visits anonymously, their city is shown. This raises privacy issues, especially in my situation: I'm a librarian who wants to use Diigo on my library's website. To librarians, publicly revealing who has used a resource is a huge no-no. (A student might, for example, not want others to know that she has viewed the website "Bedwetting: How to Beat It Through Self-Hypnosis.")
In another topic (http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/1474), Maggie indicated that v.3 would contain greater privacy protection. Could you expand on this at all? Could the "about" and "shared by" links be turned off, especially by a group owner?
Thanks for bringing this our attention. Will remove the location.
In our next version profile setting will have various options to share with public, friends or none. However, what you are requesting will create a lot of complexity to offer everything with an Opt-Out. I will drop you a note to chat more.
