Just installed the toolbar, and gotta say im impressed. I was reluctant to use diigo because i hate installing toolbars.. but i was sorry to see the diigolet didn't support multiple sites. Thought about deleting account but now i'm glad i tried the toolbar.
Few suggestions though:
1 - Favicons in toolbar bookmarks dropdown. This would make it much easier to pick individual items from the list.
2 - Sort links by frequency of use. This would be really handy.. so your most commonly used sites were always at the top of the list. I've set up a "@daily" tag of my most visited sites.. but some are more visited than others.. and right now its hard to pick them out of the long list. (spurl had this and it was very useful)
3 - Some way to make diigo toolbar search results open in new tabs, like i have my firefox search results set to do. Different behaviour leads to confusion.
4 - Integrated search results. Maybe there is already a way to do this, but: be cool to get a delicious style results page that shows results from your bookmarks, public bookmarks and the web all on one page.
Also be nice to get combined results from several services, eg: google + diigo + delicious + youtube + flickr.. or however you set up your search results. But that is more of a vague wish for the future.
5 - Bookmarkto multiple sites from the diigolet. Lots of people don't like installing toolbars.. plus it takes up less space and it can be used on other pcs more easily.
6 - Don't die like spurl, shadows and rawsugar seem to be.
7 - Thumbnails from magnolia, or another site that provides them.. plus links to cached copies on those sites/web archive/gcache, etc..
8 - tag suggestions that other users have used on that page.
9 - tracked changes alerts.. much like changenotes, but integrated into the whole notes/bookmarking system.
10 - OpenID support. Would be really handy.. especially as i already use it for ma.gnolia
11 - add space after you click a tag in the drop down list.. so you can just continue typing the next tag without having to press space.
You may already have some of these.. i'm only just exploring. Thanks again!
Thanks for taking the time to write these input. Glad to have another power user on board. Please see comment below.

sorry, you meant no simultaneously bookmarking elsewhere?

Those are good suggestions. we will be tackling some of them a little later.

both. i mostly navigate entirely with the toolbar.. and currently i've had to tag my most used bookmarks with a "@daily" tag and set up a filter. However s few of those bookmarks are used far more often (gmail, google reader, etc..) and it would be realy handy if they were at the top of the list.
If diigo just tracked how many times you clicked on a link (from the toolbar or the site) and then gave you an option of sorting by frequency of use then it would be SOO handy. (and then i could even dump my @daily tag as the unfiltered list would automatically bring back my most used bookmarks. )

ps/ i'm imagining thisworking something like the CustomizeGoogle firefox extension, which inserts a few links into the google results. if the toolbar "intercepted" firefox searches, and inserted any matching diigo bookmarks in an expandaly div then that would be really handy!

exactly. I've actually now come to really like the toolbar (good job!) but having this ability from the diigolet as well would be really handy. though it might mean you'd need to store info for those sites in the user account on diigo.

Sort by frequency of use would be a useful option.
Amongst my top five problems with Diigo 4.0 beta: sort by date added — on which I rely heavily — was removed completely.
(Sort nowadays is by date modified, a very different thing. Forcing that change — without retaining the original, as an option — is a real pain.)

Like soulgrind r, I use tagging to (re)create a feature. However: it's tedious, even with macros, to add the three tags to every bookmark.
Also a waste of Diigo bandwidth, because I find myself using first Diigolet (to check that Post to Diigo will not blindly cause dataloss), secondly Post to Diigo (customised daily to add the year, month and date tags), thirdly Diigolet.
I'd really appreciate it if Diigo could:
* reintroduce the lost option to sort bookmarks by date added * introduce an option to sort bookmarks by frequency of use.
Few suggestions though:
1 - Favicons in toolbar bookmarks dropdown.

this would be a very helpful minor "quick fix"
I use a macro (command-4) for a Diigo Meta view of the page, then click the Like button.
The like marks show in my network view of myself, but not in my library.
I imagine that one day, Diigo will offer a view of 'things that I like' (excluding all things that do not have my like mark).
