> Bookmarks in diigo contain descriptions which will be posted to del.icio.us as descriptions.
hm.. strange i'm sure i was replying on this earlier.. anyway...
my problem is that it changed from before...
the new solution is to use copy/paste if i want right thing in del.icio.us..
copy/paste is so old school and unproductive.. i expect much more from diigo.com...
2) Click Bookmark button on the toolbar, the text will appear in the description field.

i don't use diigo toolbar.. i use context menu.. i have just address bar and back button (to notify if there are pages back in history) in the same line with File, Edit, View, History... i use yubnub.org so i can use address bar for most of my searchs.. i don't have any of the toolbars except the one with File, Edit...Back button and Adress bar... that's the way how i get more space for content.. that's very important for smaller resolutions/screen...
your suggestion doesn't work in my case.. i would need to do even more actions than to copy whatever i highlighted and then paste it into description field...
why did you change that behavior from previous version? i still don't understand that...
it would be better if you would keep description empty then putting what it is now:
"Annotated link http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nextgendesigncomp.com%2Fentrydetail.aspx%3Fid%3D866"
atm my del.icio.us looks like shit having that string as description for every link ...
imho it's better to have the first highlight twice on diigo (once in description then in highlighted part) then to lose description for del.icio.us... the other solution is to put first highlight just for sending it to del.icio.us (+ other bookmark services)... as it was before...
this is serious failure from the perspective of design of the user interface.. i hope you won't see this feedback as yet another pain in the ass customer but someone who really likes, respect and use diigo but still thinks it's good to keep social networks from before on del.icio.us...
atm i have two options to keep del.icio.us ugly and useless without descriptions or to do extra work in pasting description for every link... if i didn't have the feature in old diigo i would probably just dream about it but now i'm disappointed that you changed something to worst...
