From Del.icio.us to Ma.gnolia

(Apr. 16) I don’t know how long I’ve had an account with del.icio.us. Truth is, I only used it for a few days then completely forgot about it after finding Google Bookmarks was easier to use particularly because it could be added as a widget to iGoogle. Then the other day I installed Flock on my work computer, liked what I saw, and stumbled on Ma.gnolia. I’ve been using this social bookmarking site since, or at least transferring some of my Google bookmarks to it. Compared to del.icio.us, with its awful blue color and lack of personality or Google bookmarks, which is simpler but more effective, I love ma.gnolia’s look and feel. The groups are one feature that I tried yesterday, by creating a new one about premature babies. The two problems I have with it, which hopefully I’ll learn to fix soon, is this annoying message that keeps telling me to log back in due to problems with my username or password and the authentication, even thought the site works fine when I add bookmarks and update my avatar. That and the bookmarklet, which I don’t know how to use with Flock. This is why I’m not giving up my Goggle bookmarks just yet. I’m also keeping del.icio.us because Flock supports it, too, and like Google has a bookmark button on my IE and Firefox toolbar. All my bookmarks in del.icio.us are for my students anyway and therefore a different category. Since it has only been three days since I started using ma.gnolia I couldn’t say more.

P.S.

And I still use Del.icio.us to bookmark sites for my students.
