Even if I post most of them in the open forum, I also have some ideas that could be of business value and perhaps give a lead especially if it could be silently implemented and released as "news" instead of someone else copying and implementing it right before its finished here.

I wonder if you shoule put up a dedicated "business ideas" email address or perhaps better - a forum where one can only see own posts and replies to them, so that the "Diigo gods" ;-) can communicate with the contributors without revealing it (yet) to the whole world.

Feel free to contact me through my blog site about this, if you like.
PS. If you do, I will insist on initially communicating to email addresses @diigo.com , so I have verified that you are indeed from Diigo :-)

Great, I will drop you a line... In fact, lots of conversations do take place privately, especially confidential ones :-) Since Diigo's inception, we've been very blessed by the kind help we've received from many of our users, ranging from active bug reporting and feature suggestions, to words of encouragement. We're extremely thankful for your time, input and kind help!

So, if anyone has good ideas / suggestions that they wish to discuss with us privately, please email us at info at diigo dot com - we love to hear from you!

I've been thinking about some of the various issues related to Private and Semi-Private communications for a while. Obviously email is one (of a great number of possible)solution(s). I'm curious as to whether you've thought of using a Private or Invited Group here at Diigo for this purpose?

I've done a bit of preliminary testing and, so far, it seems to be quite acceptable. It even has the advantage that I can share a copy of Sticky among groups when I create it.

As for the 'verification' of a person's apparent Identity and authorized affiliations, this seems to be a very large Subject throughout the whole internet. The line of thought that I seem to be gravitating towards is based on the Community "TrustMetrics" that are so actively discussed within wiki communities. In this case, for example, I am much more comfortable entering into an exchange with someone posting under an alias of "fuzbolero" than I would normally be, simply because I have already been in communication with "maggie_diigo" and I am prepared to accept her evident acceptance of you.

This whole "identity" issue is relatively complicated when you track it across even a small number of "use" cases. Interestingly, after a several years of participating in related discussions, I've obviously settled on the wiki practice of use of "RealName". Life has gotten much better since doing so, in spite of my initial concerns and "fears".

(This reminds me I really need to add my picture to this site, since I am planning to become a more active member. Maggie... (since I'm likely to be 'promoting' the concepts of TransClusion here)... it sure would be nice if I could just add a link to the avatar-icon and have one of the (too many already existing ones) appear there, rather than having to add yet another item to my toDoUponUpdateOfImage task lists.

Hans,

Excellent point . Our belief has always been that what's seen on many social bookmarking & social network services out there are barely scratching the surface of what can be done....

Diigo will continue to innovate and bring forthward meaningful services for the world of internet users...
