After spending hours hesitating, I let myself be tempted in buying a $10 Pinboad account.
(an interesting thing to know is that the fee is just a one time occurrence: you pay to register (and if it doesn't please you, you can ask for refund) and that's it! No annual/monthly/... fee.
So, knowing that Delicious was shut down because it didn't brought in enough money for Yahoo!, I'm thinking that paying once $10 might be a not so bad thing... Especially seeing as how the owner is so dedicated to the website!)
• Bottom line? DITCH DIIGO AND MOVE TO PINBOARD, PEOPLE! ^^
I discovered along the way that Diigo as a character limit for the tags, titles, comments, ... which doesn't go well at all with me (especially not the character limit for tags >_<)
AND
they apparently can ban/switch to private any tag they judge as inapropriate or something. Which, in fandom, would be like LJ's strikethrough of I-don't-remember-which-year, when they deleted several communities/users because they posted arts/fanfics that didn't appeal to their artistic sense (and where a bit too NC-17 for them ^^;;; ). http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/959613#31
• BONUS POINTS FOR PINBOARD:
- clearer design
- pages that load so fast you don't even have time to see the difference
- not character limit (not even in the comment part apparently)
- bookmarklet option that open a popup to bookmark your link AND SHOW ALL YOUR TAGS DIRECTLY, without needing to play fast and lose with the auto completion tag feature (you can use both at will: the small popup without visible tags but autocomplete while you write them, or the bigger popup with all the tags visible). I have so many tags, you can imagine that I love the popup with all the tags visible (that was actually one of the thing that made me reluctant to use Diigo)
- BULK TAG/ENTRY EDIT. No, really, it's extremely easy to use and much more useful than I would have thought.
- option to show all your links or the private/public/unread/untagged/starred (aka fav)/... with one click
- when you bookmark your link, you can check an 'unread' box, independent of your tags and see all those unread links in one click afterward
- star system. As in, one star to select or unselect, to mark that particular link as favorite
- Network system that I didn't try, as I already didn't use the one on Delicious
- the owner is very present, especially on twitter, and apparently ready to improve his website so it fits better the needs of fandom \o/ (see here, https://docs.google.com/document/d/17oqfHHkO48fVFY3sPQqkoCuqFnQOWe4fxRxXJ-lUglg/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1 a Google doc that we're updating to let the owner know what would be useful/necessary to add (like the bundles xD ) ). Pinboard as a definitive Dreamwidth feeling, in that the owner is very happy to count us amongst his/her user and to upgrade his/her website to fit fandom's needs ^^
- the possibility to add a note instead of a link. "Notes let you bookmark plain text on Pinboard without having to save it somewhere as a web page first. When you save the bookmark, Pinboard will create a permanent URL for your note, and then it will bookmark that URL."
- history of clics: you can see which bookmark you/someone else (re-)read/clicked on (http://pinboard.in/u:anyssia/history/all/)
- the date and the hour at which you added the link is shown
- recent/popular pages available, for when you want to procrastinate some ;p
- possibility to bookmark from your adresse e-mail
- two account type available: basic for about $10 VS archiving account $25 (or $15 if you already have a basic account) (Pinboard can download and store a copy of every page you bookmark, for your own private use. Enabling archiving will also enable full-text search for your bookmarks.)
- possibility to search through your bookmarks OR those on the website
- the slash (/) bar is allowed on Pinboard (Diigo doesn't take it well)
... and so on and so forth.
