From delicious to magnolia
Aug 28th, 2008No Comments
If you subscribe to my blog, you get a nice group of links that I save throughout the day (or, really, when I have time to surf). Lately you may have noticed that I switched from delicious to magnolia. The reason is simple: because I want to have access to my bookmarks at work as well as at home.
You see, delicious recently made a change where if you go to http://del.icio.us (their original URL) redirects to http://delicious.com. Well, it turned out that my employer has blocked access to http://delicious.com. In fact, when I tried to save a bookmark to delicious, I was accused of looking at porn. Nice, huh?
I had to rack my brain to think of another service and suddenly remembered magnolia. Some nice things about it:
- More room for comments when saving a bookmark.
- Community-based (though I haven’t delved into that).
- I like how the feed comes out, with snapshots of the pages I saved.
- Your bookmarks and comments are covered a Creative Commons License.
- They are making an open source version of their software.
