Send Facebook privacy suggestion

    When I annotate a page and send it to Facebook, you should be sending the annotated link, not the original link.

    For any one page, there are various types of annotated link - see the options in the Get Annotated Link dialogue.

    As some highlights and other types of annotation are private, so it's inappropriate to *assume* that a user wishes to share their annotations.

    From a privacy perspective, AFAICT the most respectful approach is to share, by default, the un-annotated version of the page.

    By default... is there a way to change the default? I, personally, don't see the value in using Diigo to send an unannotated link to Facebook. I can just use a regular "Send to Facebook" bookmarklet for that. The whole point to using Diigo is to annotate the pages you're sharing with people, so it seems that you're not fully supporting a "Send to Facebook" feature, if there's no way to send the annotated link.

    Are you

    a) using Diigo to *send* something

    or

    b) using Facebook for a view of what's in Diigo?

    AFAICT the latter is not related to sending.

    There are many other points but your requirement is understood :)

    If you log in to Facebook then
    http://apps.facebook.com/diigo-app/user does count Diigo annotations - note the number in parentheses - and the familiar Expand button is present - but a click on the button does not produce the desired result. I have reported this bug, with a screen shot, at
    http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/facebook-app-annotations-counted-but-expand-button-fails-to-present-the-annotations-9584

    > you're not fully supporting

    I'm a user, not associated with Facebook ;)

    Somewhere in Diigo Community forum AFAIR I requested that the options illustrated above should by default be disclosed.

    By default, neither option should be enabled; IMHO doing so would introduce too great a risk of users inadvertently sharing something that they intended to be private.

    Incidentally, the wording of one of the options is misleading. Again, somewhere in Diigo Community forum there's a topic on the subject.

    Kind regards
