Sorry for this provocative title but I am a little upset to see that Diigo has, in one hand : exactly what I want, and in the other hand : an interface with an awfull ergonomy.
I'm speaking of the toolbar !
There is too many options, this not suprising since Diigo aims to advanced users, however I couldn't settle it to get exactly what I want.
If you want to avoid hiring an information architect or an ergonome just hire the users : make it possible for user to settle exactly what they want ! (and I mean exactly, having an unusefull button is always another unusefull information between the bunch of unusfull information the web led to us).
Also, this could be a good idea to be able to settle the icones we need to another place than the toolbar. Toolbars are grabbing place on the screen...
I got a question : why highlight AND bubble ??? Ok : highlight is more efficient for texte and bubble is mandatory for images. Two nearly identical functions = complexify reflexs = bad idea Why not a bubble only where the bubble can select a zone ? Just an example...
It is clear that diigo as a great talent to find usefull functionalities but imo there should be an effort maid on the simplicity of the usage...
I know a bunch of talented interface designers if looking for a name... ^_^
Have a nice day, this was just a little pick... ;-)
