Check for dead links
I have thousands of saved links, a number of which came from Delicious almost 5 years ago.
I would love the ability for Diigo to display a notification is a page is no longer available (if it gets a 404 error, a domain that doesn't exist, or even if a domain is now "parked").

Why don't you (Diigo) even send the domain manager a notification saying that some Diigo users have bookmarked their page, and would appreciate it coming back or receiving a permalink? I mean knowing my link is gone is less bad than clicking it to learn that, but the larger concept is probably to minimize dead links.
Or alternatively make sure caching your copy of the page forever in that case.
Goal being to persist your bookmarked content as much as possible....I guess actively handling dead-links and passively handling them should be competing items on your backlog.
...Sorry if this post was too heavy for anyone out here

If the page is now redirected, the bookmark's URL should be updated to reflect the new URL so that existing page caches and information can be maintained. There is no guarantee that an existing redirect will always work so I have to make a new bookmark to ensure things continue to work.
