Why is Ma.gnolia Different?

Social Bookmarking With Ma.gnolia

How is Ma.gnolia different from other social bookmarking services? It starts with making the social side of social bookmarking work better. With contacts, groups and different ways to share bookmarks both within and outside of Ma.gnolia, we make working together on a casual basis or more formal projects fun and easy.

More Advanced Bookmark Information

Bookmarks in Ma.gnolia are more than just entries in a database. Each one tells a little story about the websites that they help you find again. Ma.gnolia makes bookmarks richer with a number of features:

Bookmark Privacy

We don't tell everyone everything about ourselves, so you should be able to keep some of your online interests private, right? Ma.gnolia lets you make individual bookmarks private, so they will be visible only to you.

Bookmark Ratings

Not all websites are created equal, and some are just plain better than others. Use our five-star rating system to remind yourself and to show others what you think of a website's quality. Just click the number of stars you want to give a bookmark, and remember that you can only rate bookmarks in your collection or that you add to groups.

Saved Copies of Web Pages

When you add a bookmark to Ma.gnolia, we rush around in the background to save a copy of the text content of the web page for your future viewing. Never again will you be lost if a web page moves or gets deleted. Ma.gnolia's saved copies have got you covered, so that what you find stays found. For more information, see our FAQ item on this subject.

We're Sweet To Look At!

We admit it, we're proud of our design. But it's much more than just eye candy, as we believe that people work better when they work with something that pleases the senses. The pretty face of Ma.gnolia doesn't sacrifice usability, either. We place a premium on being easy to understand for people who don't know or care about how something works - they just plain want it to work.

Featured Linkers

Every so often, someone gets noticed for doing cool things with Ma.gnolia, from running popular and sharp groups to helping others to simply just having interesting and diverse bookmarks. These people are our Featured Linkers, and we're proud to highlight these folks as examples of fine members of the Ma.gnolia community. It's just one of the ways that we emphasize the people behind the links.
