With a focus on a bookmark that's widely shared: ease of navigation to all associated groups - 13 views

  A personal view a bookmark that fit these criteria
  http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin/technology+recession
  reveals (to me) the _three groups_ with which the bookmark is shared.
  
  Within that view: all associated groups are hyperlinked. and so ease of navigation is perfect :)
  
  This example is not the best, because two of the three groups are private, but here goes…
  
  A group view of the bookmark with the same criteria
  http://groups.diigo.com/search?group_name=Diigo_HQ&what=t%3Atechnology%2Brecession
  
  * reveals _none_ of the other groups with which the bookmark is shared
  
  * offers no swift route to my personal view (where navigation is better) of the bookmark.
  
  I'll try to find a better example, of a bookmark that is shared with multiple public groups, but you probably get what I mean … navigation from one group to another might be easier, when discussing with multiple groups a single bookmark (or a collection of bookmarks that have similar criteria).
  
  Best,
  Graham

  > a better example, of a bookmark that is shared with multiple public groups
  
  Here, the better example:
  
  1. http://www.diigo.com/user/Grahamperrin/OpenID%2BOAuth
  
  2. http://groups.diigo.com/search?group_name=OpenID&what=t%3AOpenID%2BOAuth
  
  3. http://groups.diigo.com/search?group_name=ploneadm&what=t%3AOpenID%2BOAuth
  
  From point (1) I can reach both groups - perfect :)
  
  However: from the Planète OpenID group-oriented view of the bookmark (RPX) on which I am focused:
  
  * I can not reach the Plone administrators group
  
  and vice versa.
  
  A bigger picture: members of one group may be unaware of other groups' interests in a page/bookmark.
  
  A temptation may be, to add a 'Related groups' portal alongside the 'Related Tags' portal but I'm against clutter. I suggest that a good place to express groups' interests in a page will be:
  
  * About
  
  so for example
  http://about.diigo.com/about/show?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.janrain.com%2Fproducts%2Frpx
  should show at least the public groups with which the page's bookmark is shared.
