Maggie, thanks, that sounds _very_ good. Just checking. The question was timely as (in group conversations away from this forum) there's discussion of both Linkedin and Facebook.

I'll tend towards a Diigo group more than an open-invitation conversation, only because I (personally) don't find invitation activities appealing.

(Thinking about 'Next phase Diigo - the future' … a mass of the seeds in there are not specific to Diigo. Should that become a group?)

I shan't rush to open any other group during brainstorming sessions. It'll be fair to allow a few days' rest. No rush for you to reply to this bit of the thread :)

Postscript: URLs such as http://www.diigo.com/annotated/d81629500f5ec8c516e8a14a562fd8a5 do not redirect in WebKit, and I _like_ that behaviour. It's a good way of _encouraging closure_ of topics (in Diigo annotated view, the [Reply] button is suppressed :) with focus on annotations.

From a workflow perspective, and with half a thought to an iPhone/mobile-iniated workflow, I'd like to:

* rapidly and carelessly throw my tasty bookmarks into a honeypot

* when I'm ready -- probably, when I'm at a desktop or laptop with some display real estate -- send honey bee envoys, with Diigo pollen, to friends and to groups.

More specifically:

* I don't like dealing with bookmarks one-by-one, don't like the apparent separations between friends, some of my friends, lists and groups

* I don't find immediately appealing/intuitive the current workflow/dialogue(s) for sending/sharing, especially for communicating with friends.

Thinking more visually, I would:

* periodically arrange clusters of bookmarks, clusters of destinations

* somehow drag and drop between clusters.

Even more visually:

* clustering occurs most neatly with hexagons

* hexagons form a honeycomb

* bees, pollen, Diigo users, potential Diigo users

* honeypot for Facebook, honeypot for Linkedin

* sweet :)

More intelligently, a task for the Diigo buzzworders:

* people and groups should fall into place within a honeycomb _automatically_ (at least, based on semantic/explicit/implicit associations)

* the regular nestling of an individual alongside one or more groups need not (should not?) suggest membership of such groups

-- incidentally, I should _never_ want to be bothered by suggestions, however intelligent, for me to steer my acquaintances towards groups

-- that's not me being anti-social ;) see below, 'Horrors'!

Credits/inspiration:

* Vahid Masrour here for visualising a mapping of elements, and in [Brainstorming session] Diigo & Facebook / Linkedin

Horrors:

* applications in Facebook

-- I religiously block 99.99% of applications without even looking at them, they're a shocking waste of time, YMMV.

Postscript: deleted two potentially off-topic words, sorry!

+1 to that type of thing.

Backtracking, I find that a group topic view of Sean Brady suggests that his bookmarks page might be

http://www.diigo.com/user/seanbrady

The proper URL for Sean is in fact

http://www.diigo.com/user/sbrady

http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin works for me only because my Diigo username happens to be concatenation of my forename and surname.

(I like-a the Britalian grammar, by the way)

but Nate has contributed as recently as sixteen hours ago
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/private-public-unread-bookmarks-for-research-7338#23
so I'm not sure about that statement of non-membership.
