I edited several hundred tags and only some of them failed to stick. It seems that tag names which start with numbers will not stick, for example; but I'm not entirely sure if this is consistent. There is also a set which cannot be deleted, with somewhat similar features. Anyway, all things counted, I'm now stuck with only a handful of crufty tags. http://www.diigo.com/cloud/tripleee?alpha=&page=0&sort=1

What irks me is that these were produced by an automatic import which should obviously be fixed. In fact, I'd rather delete all my bookmarks and start over if the Simpy import could be fixed any time soon.

This was my second attempt at a Simpy import (hard to tell, of course; could be that the first one worked after all, and that the second did nothing -- but the lack of feedback for imports in progress is a separate issue which I have reported elsewhere IIRC) but my Blinklist bookmarks have still not been imported successfully, and I'm hesitant to try again if that has similar issues.

There is an alternative, although it's not as spiffy as the diigolet. I'm fine with using the "simple bookmarklet" if the alternative is to enable third-party cookies. http://blog.diigo.com/2008/06/27/tip-of-the-day-add-a-bookmark-on-site-diigo-simple-bookmarklet-now-available/

Seconded!
