    I'm not too fond of the tag features(inputting it everytime you bookmark something), and i much more like the lists/categories features like it was in furl. My main complaint here is that with diigo you can only select one list for each bookmark. Is it possible to be able to select more than one list for the same bookmark. Do you think you can make this feature available. It would really be great. Thanks.

    A new service called qitera does this, so i dont think it should be to hard to implement. If you could allow us to select multiple lists from the drop down box, instead of just one. Also it would be nice if diigo can remember what lists we've used last like furl used to do, and also maybe the ability to have sublists?!

    thanks again.

    EDIT: I want to be able to do this through the bookmarklet. When i am bookmarking something, so i dont have to come back here to edit it. Please can you make this feature possible.

    A highlight from http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/adding-bookmark-simultaneously-to-multiple-lists-43030#6

    I'm not sure i understand your question? its not that i avoid mybookmarks, i just dont want to go back and edit them, unless its absolutely nesscary. I use them mainly to keep track of websites/etc that i visit, and ones that i want to save information from. Most of the bookmarks i have now are ones i've transferred over from furl.net.

    thanks for the links by the way, but i'm really hoping that the feature is added (*adding to multiple lists). the other stuff i dont really care to much about.

    Also are u also looking forward to this feature?
    >>"Still, saving to multiple lists is desirable.
    I would like to see the feature at diigo.com "

    (If we cram too much into a toolbar, sidebar or dialogue box, legibility/utility is reduced.)

    - also maybe just having an option in settings to turn off features you want or dont want could work. or in the case of bookmarklets, maybe make differant bookmarklets? Advanced Version, Basic Version, Even More Basic Version...

    Thanks, that makes sense.

    The question re: avoidance was mainly to check that you find nothing off-putting about the 'My Bookmarks' interface.

    Already we have:

    1. the varieties of Diigolet for seven different browsers (not all varieties are identical)

    2. the more basic Post to Diigo (recommended for use on mobile devices e.g. iPhone, equally useful to people who require something less than Diigolet on their computer, and for sites where e.g. Adobe Flash is in conflict, and so on)

    3. the three different toolbars

    4. the interfaces at diigo.com

    5. ability to create Dashboard widgets from various parts of diigo.com (using Safari on Mac OS X)

    6. expression of interest in other widgets

    7. API

    8. etc.

    I'm certainly keen on development, especially open source but I imagine that developers will be not keen to multiply/add to the already significant number of bookmarklets that must be maintained.

    Whilst I very much like the idea of (b) concurrent addition to multiple lists, IMO other more important changes to Diigolet are required first. Most notably, (a) something stop the troublesome publication of private information.

    Beyond (a) and (b) there are hundreds of suggestions, many of which have an express or implicit effect on Diigolet, and there's only so much that can/should be done without risking performance (which is currently excellent).




    FWIW my own vision is that the Diigo About page, which is currently statistical/informational (very much a one-way thing) should be much more a *doing* page for the bookmark. In this page, which is close to ubiquitous, you should be able to e.g. add the bookmark to multiple lists.

    Kind regards
    Graham
