This site has good information about social bookmarking. I got so much knowledge about social advertising from this site. I visit this site everyday.

Some of the nice features of diigo that are missing from del.icio.us is the ability to have a conversation about a bookmark. I setup a tag for my company and bookmark relevant articles there. It would be nice to carry on a conversation linked to that article but there is no way to do that in del.icio.us or other bookmarking sites. People can subscribe to the RSS feed of a particular tag or they can have a conversation with me about that link. Now if they added trackbacks for the conversation so that, if its a blog posting, the conversation could be linked in that would be even better.

I would prefer to do these things in del.icio.us since most of my bookmarks are there, but since Yahoo! bought them development of new features has been fairly stagnant.

Hey Nick, great question, and serendipitous - I was just putting together an post on Diigo.

My problem with Diigo is close to your initial concerns - and, although I generally don't let it stand in the way of giving it a try, I tend to think that services suffer from having to be downloaded and installed. It creates difficulty straight from the start, and lays a hurdle in the user's path.

Another problem I have with services like Diigo and others like Adaptive Blue's in-browser-service, is that I use multiple computers - and, I need for these things to be able to follow me wherever I go!!

Maybe I'm lazy, but I usually give up on these services before I get bored with them because they're, essentially, one more thing I'd have to do when I get online.

And, I don't want to have to work harder.
