I would also like to change the default text for forwarding. The phrase "I found an interesting..." isn't the way I send out emails, and besides, the copy has the ring of "junk mail" written all over it. Also with the powered by Diigo blurbs. I know that you guys need to plug your service somehow, but I think that it probably isn't the best entrance point (i.e. via email) for it.

Actually, I also wish that there were a way to clip highlights that are unformatted. I'm still bouncing between Google Notebook, Diigo, Del.icio.us, and Google Bookmarks. They all have their strengths. I like the simplicity of the Google products. Some of these newer solutions seem to just make things sluggish. I mean how often do most researchers need to clip videos? I don't see the video clippers to be a large segment of web researchers...

I can already copy with Firefox w/o formatting. What I actually wanted was for my highlights to not be styled when I go to the "expanded" view in My Bookmarks. In the end, I don't want styled text, I just want pure information w/o the original styling. does this make sense? I do trends research and copying the styles over just becomes visually distracting when studying what I've clipped over a given week.

It would be replaced by a more complex command copy+paste the highlighted text intu the sticky immediately under the right Diigo menu "Highlight & Sticky & Picp up the text" as I considered.

For example, when a marketing person doing research, the ability to save and share this type of media becomes useful. Another example, I sometimes see some funny clips that I'd like to save and share with others :-) I'm the one that nags our team to get this feature implemented, haha!

A new toolbar will soon be released that will allow you to tag your video clipping as well. Our goal is to make Diigo a very versatile platform / service that can be easily customizable to suit your needs.

I too prefer to use Control-Q or some other keyboard shortcut for the standard bookmarking dialog. I prefer to tag my bookmarks right away and would like a shortcut key to access it.
