For those of you who’ve been blissfully unaware, the social bookmarking service ma.gnolia imploded late last month.
Although the CEO hints that it may someday return in the future:
Ma.gnolia was approaching the third anniversary of its public launch; for me, it was the project and people to which I’d devoted most of my time, energy, and love for nearly four years. It’s still a little too soon to give word about the return of Ma.gnolia the service and the future of the M2 project, but I will keep this site and our Twitter account updated as those decisions are made.
I’ve reverted back to my old delicious account. Thanks to the web cache recovery tool, I don’t think I even lost any bookmarks in the process, though it is hard to be certain.
Here’s my delicious info:
I’ve also unhooked magnolia and hooked up delicious to feedburner, so feed subscribers should continue to get a digest of new links – apologies in advance if anything goes awry with that plan.
What did you like about Magnolia so much? Delicious upgraded since you left. Did the upgrade achieve parity?
Good question. The main things I liked about ma.gnolia were OpenID support and thumbnails.
Seems like Delicious still doesn’t support OpenID, but that’s not a huge deal.
With Ma.gnolia and Feedburner, I could add a daily or weekly digest of my bookmarks and it would include thumbnails. Does Ma.gnolia support that now?
I’m still using feedburner, but not seeing thumbnails – do you know if it’s possible to do that?
