    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.

    > Public mode

    For this, you can treat http://www.diigo.com/profile/Lamarck as a starting point :)

    > show them something things saved in diigo

    To show an individual item, with your annotations, use the annotated link features.

    To show a collection of items, you can create a public or private list:

    — for each list that is private, there is a tokenised URL that you can offer to trusted people.

    There's the potential to do great things with tagging, if tagging is your pleasure, but I shouldn't steer you in that direction until after the next version of Diigo is released.

    Thanks Graham but I don't understand the concept of "levels of bookmarks"

    Within your 'My bookmarks': a bookmark is either public or private.
    Within a group that is public: all bookmarks are public.
    Within a group that is private: all bookmarks are private.


    Think of it in this way:

    1. http://www.diigo.com/buzz/hot

    2. for a bookmark that interests you, click Save

    — at this point (within a bookmark dialogue) you decide whether your copy of the bookmark should be public or private

    3. http://www.diigo.com/user/lamarck

    4. [√] select a bookmark

    5. Copy to group… (a.k.a. Share to group…) and from the menu, select a group

    — at this point, as the bookmark is copied to the group, your mark of privacy (if any) becomes irrelevant.

    If the group is public, the bookmark there will be public.

    If the group is private, the bookmark there will be private.

    Learning through experimentation

    http://groups.diigo.com/groups/sandpit is available, for experimentation.
