Very frustrating not being able to tweet posts easily without Toolbar.
Really need to be able to: - tweet while bookmarking using Diigolet - and using 'share' button in the library
Why? - I prefer to use Safari (on Mac), Firefox doesn't do it for me. - My community who I want to share stuff I find, is on Twitter, not Diigo. - For me, Diigo is primarily where I store stuff for my own interest, and Twitter is for sharing with others.
At the moment I find the workflow to do both (bookmark and tweet) is so cumbersome, especially on iPhone, that I end up either Tweeting OR bookmarking, so my library is incomplete!
I've searched the grp and looked a various threads, and am concluding Diigo's approach to privacy is a mess - please show me I'm wrong!
Here's my typical scenario:
- Come across interesting site - bookmark with Diigo - share to Twitter with bitly (because I don't use Diigo toolbar)
later,
- go to that bookmark - read it properly, discover very relevant to a project I'm working on, - so start adding highlights and notes - realise that anyone reading my bookmark list will see all my highlights (I *think* stickies are private, not sure) - realise this is a commercial project and it might not be sensible leaving a 'highlighted' trail of pages I've annotated - mark bookmark private
and now I can't share the bookmark more widely - which I still want to do, minus the highlights - because I've marked it private.
I realise that Diigo's primary market is education, so this is perhaps less of an issue for others, but for a private consultant, it's a bit of problem!
Diigo's home page says: Research | Share | Collaborate
It's really difficult to see how to do this unless you can accept everything is public!
I'd like to encourage colleagues to use Diigo, but I don't think it's fit for purpose.
Please tell me I'm missing the point? Or don't understand the help system?
Surely in settings I should be able to select what items I want to be public/private by default? Whether I want 'friends' to be able to see them? etc
Using Diigolet with Safari, when I move a new page the diigolet 'toolbar' disappears, and I have to click the diigolet button each time to make it reappear. How can it be set to remain visible when moving between pages>
A diigolet toolbar that disappears all the time is a pain. Surely 'always on' versus 'always disappears' aren't the only options? How about 'stays on until I click off'?
