I was using diigo purely as a bookmarker, but i've recently discovered how useful the highlighting is (in particular with regard to notes to access from a mobile).
However I'm wondering about the privacy settings. When I highlight something it says "private highlight by soulgrind r", but even if i'm not logged in, those highlights show up under the "expand" link on my user page. That seems confusing to me, as they aren't really private (though i guess it refers to actually seeing the highlights "in page". )
Also, I'd like the default setting of HIGHLIGHTS (as opposed to bookmarks) to be private. If I bookmark a page, and tag it, etc.. then I probably am happy for it to be public (or at least I have the option to choose).
If I highlight something then its often just a reminder, or a quick bit of temporary information for me (how it get to a place, how to beat a level in a game, etc..). So, ideally, I'd like to be able to set the default privacy for Bookmarks (tagged), Quick Bookmarks, AND Highlights (no_tag).
If I decide to tag it later then I'll probably make it a pubic bookmark, and its probably worth sharing.. but if it's "no_tag" then its probably not worth sharing (at least not yet).
On this occasion the issue is already in the public forum so it's reasonable to continue here.
> AFAIR this bug is a regression.
@ Diigo
I checked my notes from around 17th-20th December, the example that was offered (and rapidly fixed) then was slightly different from the current examples.
So: not a regression, but still a privacy bug in Diigo's description of highlights.
2. stop trying/failing to abstract a potentially *broad and complex subject* (private, public, and the gamut of sharing and other options in between) within something as *small and simple* as a highlight.
3. instead of complicating the highlight, tend towards an about.diigo.com service that's more comprehensive and user-friendly:
- logically, the user should learn _about_ the state of their annotations etc. at an _about_ page :)

PS/ Glad all your guys in china are ok.
2. apply a highlight
3. Diigo describes the highlight as private
= BUG =
4. about.diigo.com for the page reveals your private highlights to the public.
AFAIR this bug is a regression.

All things considered, I suggest:
1. address the most common cause of inappropriate publicity, topic 9588, currently uppermost at
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/tag/priority
2. stop trying/failing to abstract a potentially *broad and complex subject* (private, public, and the gamut of sharing and other options in between) within something as *small and simple* as a highlight.
