  - that is: bookmark as the foundation for most things.
  
  Completely private
  
  When highlighting, beware!
  
  As you add your first private highlight to a page: if no bookmark exists, then a bookmark is created (sometimes silently) and such bookmarks are, by default, PUBLIC.
  
  In some Diigo environments: you may set an option to avoid unintended publicity. http://www.diigo.com/05fuv highlights a tip within
  http://help.diigo.com/How-To_Guide/Bookmarking
  
  In at least one Diigo UI: publicity of new bookmarks is unavoidable (discussion).
  
  Publicity
  
  A highlight may be publicised in the following ways:
  
  * to the highlight: stick a note that is public
  
  * at your My Bookmarks: use the Share menu to gain an annotated link for a bookmark, then publicise that link.
  
  There may be other ways, depending on user behaviours :)
  
  Comments
  
  The routine for comments is fairly self-explanatory at the time of commenting, fewer gotchas.
  
  Floating sticky notes
  
  I rarely use these.
  
  Sharing to groups
  
  The groups stuff will probably come fairly naturally after you get your head around the points above ... but follow up here if you need any pointers.
  
  Regards
  Graham

  @ David
  
  Is Diigo 4.0 beta more intuitive? I have not paid great attention to wording but I suspect that there are improvements to (at least) the descriptions of highlights. Less confusion between private/public, that type of thing …
