First, I have to say that the Diigo folks are very responsive. I had a couple messages from them very shortly after I tweeted about some frustration with the much-anticipated (at least by me!) iPhone application. So I feel I owe them, and others, a more complete review. First, I said the bookmarklet wasn't working. It is working for me now, but the functionality is disappointing. I try to use Diigo as my one social bookmarking tool. But the delicious bookmarklet is sooo much better that I may have to figure out a strategy to keep my bookmarks in sync. With the Diigo bookmarklet, you can only add the URL to your account, in private mode, without tags or description. The delicious bookmarklet allows you to choose whether or not to share, to add a description, and to tag the link (and suggests tags from others).
As for the Diigo application itself, I don't know why the focus seems to be reading documents offline, rather than on the social aspects that make regular Diigo superior to delicious - commenting on documents, and reading others comments. The other big issue I've had with the Diigo app so far is that the built-in browser is slow and inconsistent. My experience thus far is that links rarely work, and when they do the pages are very slow to download.
