Ma.gnolia Monthly V3: Ma.gnolia Passes a Million Marked Websites & Adds API!
That's right! The millionth bookmark was added to Ma.gnolia in March, just a month after we opened our doors to the general public. We all did a little dance to celebrate, but unfortunately the video of that has been lost forever! Thank you so much for being a part of Ma.gnolia and its quick growth.
In this issue of Ma.gnolia Monthly, we've got some great new things. As usual, we're showing you some of our members' hottest groups. We're also introducing you to two new featured linkers. You can also take a survey from the Zicklin School of Business to share your tagging activities as the academics of the world figure out what people love about tagging. And, as always, get updates on hot new groups and tags!
We have a special shout out to the creative programmers in the crowd - Ma.gnolia is happy to announce that the first version of our API is now in production. Get all the info you need to start making Ma.gnolia magic with your applications at http://ma.gnolia.com/support/api.
And be sure to watch for some new features coming this month, including some fun ways to invite others to join you at Ma.gnolia, new group avatars and some helpful tips for sharing your bookmarks and tags!
