And what happened with cross-posting to Furl?

Let's face it, FURL continue to be much more functional to save personal copies of even any page on the web (even PDFs) than Diigo. That's what I'm still using it. And that's a pity because Diigo is a much better researching tool. I think that you people behind Diigo must understand that if you are demanded for better caching or anything else, it is because your product is better and we, the users, realize that things that other service can do very well must be implemented on Diigo, so we can make it the only tool we use to online research. (Consider the hassle for us to switch from one service to the other just to complete the same investigation).

I've posted about this before, and I'm still waiting for a clear response. Are you planning to support catching PDF files and annotate on them? I would like to use just one bookmarking service, but because of little things like this one, I still find that FURL is very useful.

Of course not. That's why I demand more from my favorite bookmarking and researching tool: Diigo.

FURL does catch PDF files. So I keep using it. If the site with the PDF file goes down I still have a copy on FURL.

I work a lot with PDF files, since I read scientific journals. FURL keeps a copy for me, but Diigo could do much more. You understand what I mean.
