From Delicious to Magnolia

| 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 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.][magnolia]
