Many people must know about Google notebook. I think diigo is greater than Google notebook but has not a function that Google notebook already have. Here is the thing.
By using Google notebook, I can edit highlighted text easily and freely. But diigo is unable to edit highlighted text. I strongly suggest that diigo add edit feature on highlighted text. If this feature is added, maybe diigo will be the best bookmarking tool in technical sense.
I hope my suggestion is helpful to diigo developers. - Kim
I agree, about there would be some improvement in Diigo similarly as made in Google Notebook=GNB. For example a draggable arranging of the highlights + making them collapsible and expandable and even the bookmarked pages order too. I put some topics of suggestion also regarding to it.
But, consider a difference of the funcionality of highlighting in GNB and Diigo. Although, you are in right that the edit highlight feature is big in GNB, but i feel it functions as a contracted highlight and sticky two-in one. As you can make it similarly with a + manipulation in DIIGO! Highlight any text in DIIGO copy that to the clipboard invoke a sticky, paste the higlighted text into the sticky and do any modification on the text with the rich text editing feature of the sticky.
suggestion: it would be at best improving to allow a + sticky action or putting a plus command to the floating right menu of diigo or diigo menu in the context menu when higlighting which picks up the higlighted text immediately to the sticky in one-step without + user action to copy&paste ( as it would be preferenced for example in the Adobe commenting system)

Actually, I also wish that there were a way to clip highlights that are unformatted. I'm still bouncing between Google Notebook, Diigo, Del.icio.us, and Google Bookmarks. They all have their strengths. I like the simplicity of the Google products. Some of these newer solutions seem to just make things sluggish. I mean how often do most researchers need to clip videos? I don't see the video clippers to be a large segment of web researchers...
1) We don't allow highlight editing now because otherwise the in-situ highlight won't match up properly. Considering the pros and cons, we think it's important to have the highlighting overlaying and showing up when viewing the original webpage.
if editing is really necessary now, you can always copy it into a in-situ sticky note to that highlight and edit it there for your own consumption.
Having said all that, we will have some alternative solution and pretty cool related features coming up (sorry, cannot reveal the details yet.) So Diigo is easily your best choice to stay with, IMHO :-) So, stay tuned!
2) JMresearch - do you know we offer "Copy - with or without format" in our content selection menu? that's a pretty handy feature - one that few realize but quite useful. Please give that a try.
Video clipping - different users have different needs, and research comes in various forms. For example, when a marketing person doing research, the ability to save and share this type of media becomes useful. Another example, I sometimes see some funny clips that I'd like to save and share with others :-) I'm the one that nags our team to get this feature implemented, haha!
Now we make that into an optional On / Off feature , it should not be disturb users' normal browsing activities. A new toolbar will soon be released that will allow you to tag your video clipping as well. Our goal is to make Diigo a very versatile platform / service that can be easily customizable to suit your needs.
You pointed out in above 2. there is a Copy command on the Diigo right menu. Tthis had escaped from my detection until, owing to i was not curious about the editing highliight, much rather the dragging & collapse/expand feature which is really cool in GNB. And it would be really considered in the MyBookmarks Expanded view in Diigo. In case of you had read my post #2 if the Copy command are allowed why not the Paste also would be? Although, it is also just an + opreration as a CTRL-V (Paste). It would be replaced by a more complex command copy+paste the highlighted text intu the sticky immediately under the right Diigo menu "Highlight & Sticky & Picp up the text" as I considered.
Thanks,

I can already copy with Firefox w/o formatting. What I actually wanted was for my highlights to not be styled when I go to the "expanded" view in My Bookmarks. In the end, I don't want styled text, I just want pure information w/o the original styling. does this make sense? I do trends research and copying the styles over just becomes visually distracting when studying what I've clipped over a given week.

That's an interesting suggestion - will discuss here. Thanks

To make it optional (styled or not) is probably doable (nearly anything is possible). Question is how much demand, and is it worthwhile our extra engineering effort. I'd imagine majority users don't mind (and in fact, desire) having the highlight styled as the original site, and this particular feature request is probably only for very small niche of users.
Just curious, would you and a segment of users be willing for pay a fee for this premium feature, and if so, what kind of fee structure would make sense to you all as users and for us to consider offering premium services? Not trying to put anyone on the spot here, but rather to collect some marketing data for us...
