I work at CENTRIM — the Centre for Research in Innovation Management. Beyond work: I enjoy solitude, letting go, camping getaways and dreaming. I have great family and friends, and two gorgeous cats. Take not too much notice of my bookmarks — hundreds are unread!
> what items I want to be public/private by default
There's a topic,
Diigolet should allow the user to prefer obscurity as a default for new bookmarks (2009-01)
but re http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/1102558 I can't retrieve that topic at the moment.
The underlying issue is that Diigolet defaults to creating a public bookmark whenever you highlight something for the first time.

Similarly: if your first action on a page is a comment, or floating note: whilst your comment or note may be private, the bookmark that accompanies its creation is public.
> I don't use Diigo toolbar
If you prefer private by default, try Post to Diigo. Make it your habit to use Post to Diigo before proceeding to draw highlights etc..
Post to Diigo is also public by default, but at least the option to switch to private is clearer than in Diigolet.

That topic 9588 seems to missing or lost but I found a cached copy. I'll re-post.

Diigo service should allow obscurity/privacy by default for Diigolet, Post to Diigo and other scripts
