  hi, it seems that multiword tags arent really supported that well in diigo. I tried, for example, surrounding the words with "" quotes, and while that worked, when i go to My Bookmarks, and take a look at the tag cloud, i only see the first word (well, the first word with a space after that if u mouseover it) in the cloud? What should be (if any) the proper way to create a multi-word tag? (I would much prefer not to use underscores or dashes).

  see http://www.diigo.com/help/tagging/1
  
  put quotation before and after the multiple words
  
  (note: we're doing another upgrade in server now - may temporarily affect the index server but should be up very shortly)

  thanks, Maggie. I sort of figured that out. Although (see my 2nd point), the display doesnt really work that well for the phrase when it comes to my tag cloud in the "My Bookmarks" page... (if i tag "first second", the cloud shows only the word "first", with an invisible "space" after it! u'll see that "invisible space" when u mouseover the word "first" in the cloud...)

  Jeffrey,

(if i tag "first second", the cloud shows only the word "first", with an invisible "space" after it! u'll see that "invisible space" when u mouseover the word "first" in the cloud...)
  
  ----> this has to do with not having enough space for tag display (in "My Tags" right column, for example). We don't yet have a good solution yet without doing major "operation" to UI. Suggestion welcome.

  actually, no - I just realized what's going on now. You guys only take *the first 12 characters*, space or no space... If a tag is less than 12 characters long (inclusive of all the spaces), then the whole tag will show! eg. "test 1 2". However, if it is longer than 12 characters, then it will get truncated at the 13th character, and only the first 12 (space or no space) will show in "My Tags"...
