Ma.gnolia website down

March 15, 2006 | 4 comments | Uncategorized

I just started using ma.gnolia as a linkroll instead of del.icio.us because ma.gnolia integrates a lot of security, personalisation and user experience features that I prefer. When, for example, you make a bookmark, the company makes a digital copy of that page on their server, saved forever. That’s fantastic but when I go to the ma.gnolia.com domain today, trying to register something, the website appears to have expired! Did someone forget to reregister it? It doesn’t give me a huge amount of confidence in the company that they don’t even register their own domain names properly!
As of right now, ~11AM GMT, I’ve replaced ma.gnolia with del.icio.us again.

    It was our bad, but we got everything back up and running nicely by about 10am thanks to some friendly emails from members. Patrick we do understand how important trust is, and you need to make the call as you see it on who you choose to store your bookmarks with. If we can do anything to help the transition out let me know and we’ll do it.

    Oooh I was just kidding around really. I’m a HUGE fan of Ma.gnolia already, especially because of its ’save the page’ feature which really is amazing.
    As you can see from the page now, Ma.gnolia’s back as the linkroll of choice. It didn’t take long. ;)

    That’s a relief. Really glad to read that you’ve decided to give us another chance :)
