One of the two discussions that lead me to give up on Diigo. This is the point at which I give up on social bookmarking sites, in general, in part because of the reasons I mention in this discussion. No mas.

General information about my pages on Diigo, and pages connected with them, elsewhere

"The Ravine" is the name I've attached to the space associated with this account on mine on Diigo, and associated pages elsewhere. Think of it as a site that spills over several servers.

This link takes you to the main page for that distributed site. Again, sorry about this, but the Diigo system gives me no other way to create a homepage link for my groups, so I have to bookmark myself.

Somewhere to follow my Diigo bookmarks, when they aren't available on Diigo.

Find out when I've bookmarked another site on Diigo, even if you aren't one of my friends / contacts on this site.

How to get that, even if we aren't friends on Diigo.

Mirroring the content on my bloglike Diigo homegroup, just in case said group should be offline.

Writing about some of the livejournals I've visited while writing my pages on Diigo. (philosophy, scientific skepticism and other subjects)

If you came to my pages at Diigo from a webring and wish to return to it, now, you should find the code you need on this page. Be sure to click onto the url you see above the preview window, after clicking on the link, to get to the ring return page instead of the preview page.

Yes, I know that's a little confusing, but that's Diigo's doing and there's not much I can do about that, other than maybe look for a new hosting service. Again.

Connecting to discussion related content, roughly the same subject matter which you'll be seeing on my Diigo pages, but on a different social networking site.

I spend a little time talking about what I intend to do with my profile, here on Diigo, and then provide a few links and pictures.

I will probably be leaving Diigo. For a variety of reasons which I might discuss elsewhere, I don't feel valued as a user here. What I had been creating was destroyed by the recent changes Diigo's staff surprised us with over Yom Kippur. The damage doesn't look like something that I can fix, because Diigo no longer provides me with the tools I need, and I wonder who I'd be fixing it for, anyway.

If you want to read what I'm doing elsewhere, and see if I ever create a replacement for this account, my Mybloglog page will be a good source of information about that.

Something I've created, a moderated community for past and present users of Diigo. Communities on Livejournal are group blogs. This is somewhere where you're invited to elaborate on what you've been doing on Diigo, talk about the sites you've bookmarked, etc.

An unofficial, moderated group for past and present users of Diigo, which I've created at Flickr. Post your images, which you'd like to have seen somewhere on Diigo (in some discussion group or another, probably) on Flickr, and then maybe discuss them in this group.

"The Ravine" is the name I've attached to the space associated with this account on mine on Diigo, and associated pages elsewhere. Think of it as a site that spills over several servers.

In case you were wondering why the same three bookmarks kept popping to the top of my bookmark page and onto your screen - this is why. Discussion on Diigo Community.

This, regrettably, is no joke. An official barged in as the cyclist was making arrangements for his son's funeral.

Somebody needs to be fired, not reprimanded or suspended.

Men in Black gone wild. Employees of a county department of Homeland Security decide to make their own laws about the viewing of porn.

Law that is good in principle, applied without the use of common sense or basic logic.

One of the reasons why underaged teens aren't allowed to consent to model nude - without parental consent, and there are issues enough in that to justify a whole other post - is because children are believed to lack the mental capacity to fully understand the decisions that they are making. Yet now they are to prosecuted for making those very same decisions on their own, as if they were competent adults who had preyed on incompetent children, luring them into decisions their victims might later regret, leaving us with a pick and mix in which the teens are regarded as being both competent and incompetent at same time, the state they are to be viewed as being in depending on the needs of the argument under which they are to be imprisoned at each given point.

Doublethink a la Orwell being used as a basis for Law, as the underaged are put in danger of sent to prison (where they are likely to be raped) using a law designed to protect them from a form of sexual exploitation.

Before one laughs too loudly, let's just think of what it means - as the wealth vanishes into the hands of a few, those few are growing fewer.

The smaller the controlling group gets, the more easily it can keep itself closed.

Viral molecular structures, rendered in glass. Prettier than I just made it sound, probably.

If you'd like to be notified of updates to my bloglike (blogish?) homegroup on Diigo, and you have a Yahoo account, you should join this community.

Just sign into Mybloglog with your Yahoo account, if you haven't set up a Mybloglog account already, and you should be ready to run in about a minute. Just remember to click on "my home" and look at your own page before trying to set your nickname in IE, because of a small bug in the system.
