    Adding public inline comments on a home page is not allowed now. We restrained this feature to prevent mass graffiti on home page.

    Inline comments (highlight + Add Sticky Note) doesn't give me a "Public" option on any webpages, including this one. The only options are Private or one of my groups.

    = Improvement suggestion =

    Diigo UI should explain the restriction - at the time of restriction.

    I imagine, a easily-dismissed pop-up in response to the first application of an annotation to a home page.

    Pop-up:

    * once per user

    * once per home page.

    Thanks - Graham

    IMHO the restriction is understandable.

    As a sites manager:

    * I _do_ encourage social bookmarking etc. of specific pages

    however

    * I prefer to keep _all public views_ of a home page as _clean and clear_ as possible.

    If my need is great, to share annotations of a home page with the public, I can:

    1) highlight (without regard to public/private and states in between)

    2) bookmark - share with a group in which bookmarks are public - share existing annotations

    3) gain the Diigo annotated URL for that home page.

    In that routine there's a potential blocker: it's currently impossible to Get Annotated Link using Diigolet.

    Postscripts:

    a) within step (2) the tendency to share with a group is probably good practice

    b) http://help.diigo.com/index.php?title=How-To_Guide/Highlighting is annotated accordingly; http://www.diigo.com/annotated/8c8bc2cbe96b1ceaa616378b1b32605f
