Settling in on Diigo
29 Sep 2011 07:37 pm1. Upload an icon. There is actually quite a good reason to upload a user icon (ideally the one you use everywhere else, if you're the sort who does that):
Without subscriptions, most of us will be using these pages - the Recent/Popular feed page for each tag (these follow the same format as Delicious but with _ in place of /, eg above www.diigo.com/tag/thor_loki). The red circle in the first screencap shows a feature that Delicious didn't have: it ranks the users of the tag according to frequency. The second picture shows actual size.
When you hover over one of the little grey generic headshot-square-icons, a pop-up will tell you the name of the person it represents. But the icon would make it a lot easier! If you're flipping back and forth between your favorite tags, you might notice someone who shares your taste if their user picture shows up in all of them, for example.
2. Filter multiple tags with a space in between. Not just in your own bookmarks (where it tells you to), but on the site overall, particularly the tag pages:
This is something I do often: search for [pairing]+au. That was how it worked on delicious; on Diigo, you just type both tags with a space between in the box at the top. The URL, as you can see, substitutes the standard %20 for a space.
3. Say goodbye to subscriptions. Personally, I added a folder to my browser bookmarks and then bookmarked all my most frequently visited tag pages, but I anticipate leaning more heavily on the network too once I have spent some more time looking around and adding more people to mine.
4. Say goodbye to tag bundles. I'm not sure how to cope with this yet: I have way too many tags to just browse without the aid of the fandom and pairing bundles. I'm thinking I will have to set up an index page on my website or journal. Anyone else have any solutions/suggestions for that?
