Bug Report: Dear Maggie, I tagged one of my last bookmarks with diigoforum. But, when searching for this bookmark, I got an error message, that this bookmark doesn't exist. MayAllBeHappy Fridemar

Annotations need to be URL-based as TrailFire does it. You can click [1] and you get ample annotations. In this case a snapshot of the whole page, of which I am the author. In wikis longer contributions are not the exception. So please get rid of the 5000 words barrier.

By the way, sometimes it doesn't work. I made a "sticky" here, but got only a "highlight".

Now it works.
I think it is a good exercise to use more collaboration by annotation.

{ To test, if collaboration by annotation works at this early state in the history of social annotation, the author DiiGo s and TrailMark s this page. He asks his peers in Wiki, DiiGo and FireTrail: can somebody show him how to embed videos in DiiGo or FireTrail annotations (or better) can somebody continue his work by making the wanted video enhanced annotation on this page [AskDiigo] [AskTrailFire] [AskWiki] }

As WikiPage content is updated often, this needs special care of the design of the annotation engine. Programmers of DiiGo can use this text as a testcase.

PS.: { To test, if collaboration by annotation works at this early state in the history of social annotation, the author is going to DiiGo and TrailMark this page. He asks his peers in Wiki, DiiGo and TrailFire: * can somebody show him how to embed videos in DiiGo or FireTrail annotations (or better) * can somebody continue his work by making the wanted video enhanced annotation on this page [AskDiigo] [AskTrailFire] [AskWiki] * can some DiiGo please suggest to the programmers of DiiGo, to offer movable annotation markers, because, you can see, that changes in the marked text break the static annotation markers apart * in case, if there is an option for floating annotations, please leave an answer under the tag [AskDiigo] * as an incentive the author asked this question in [AskYahoo] too. }

In this TrailFireTrail, we test the capabilities of DiiGo and TrailFire to
annotate WikiPages (WikiAnnotation)
annotate annotations (AnnotationAnnotation)InteroperabilityOfDiiGoWithFireTrail would mean: it is possible to annotate DiiGo annotations with FireTrailAnnotations andFireTrailAnnotations with DiiGo annotations It is easy to see, that DiiGo marked text (DiiGo highlighted text) can be marked by TrailFire.
The converse however doesn't appear to work yet .
To test this
(1) I took a DiiGoMarkedText in the WikiAnnotation page and copied it into the rich text TrailFireAnnotationDIalog.

(2) I DiiGoMarked [this text in brackets, but without the brackets]  and looked at the result of the TrailFireAnnotation, after having edited it.

No wonder. Trailfire is so new, that DiiGo has not settled the problems.

{2 Hans, can you see the upper paragraphs on this page DiiGo marked in total.
Currently I cannot get rid of the highlighted DiiGo text. -- fridemar
}
The text in curly braces, numbered 2, was copied into a FireTrailMark as temporary work text. When this page gets
refactored, it can be deleted. In the meantime, it serves as an illustration, how useful TrailFire and DiiGo is for maintaining
a WikiPage.
The text in curly braces, numbered 1, is again copied into a FireTrailMark and a DiiGo annotation, so that later it
can be deleted too, after it has
served as an illustration.

dto. for block 0. Later after using the annotation tools, such collaboration interaction can be factored out straight
from the start on. I hope to have demonstrated, how useful WikiAnnotation can be.

Dear Diigos, I love Diigo and I love increasingly FireTrail (I am quite new there). They even have realized some wikiness there. To keep both social annotation informed, I give you a copy of my blog comment there: Copy: It is great to see the wiki philosophy in TrailFire (partially) applied. My suggestion is: what about WikiWords (like the last one),i.e. automatic links to a dedicated Wiki for each trail. In the same sense each mark should be individually addressable via an URL as a wiki-page. Another more powerful option would be a global TrailFire community wiki, which would be a common database for making rich link context supported marks. Thank you for making TrailFire available as very helpful community service that brings our planet on a new level of togetherness. Posted by fridemar | May 11, 2007 3:31 PM CopyEnd

Dear Diigos,
this was the answer of Mike Perkowitz,  who had implemented a lot of Trailfire:

Copy:
Glad you like the wiki features. We have definitely thought about expanding the wiki-ness (or at least, the ability of the author to enable wiki-ness) in some of the ways you mention. We'll be continuing to add features that make it easy to collaborate on projects around a trail or set of trails, with a group of contacts or with the world at large.

I qote him here, for your convenience, because the clip didn't show up under the Diigo bookmarks.

By the same observation, although I wanted to tag this bookmark with the tags: "diigo wiki annotation trailfire blog comment", I couldn't find an entry. Suggestion: Leave a field for tagging in your "Add sticky note" or at least in the Actionsbox. Thank you.
