Our Mobilicio.us service now works with Ma.gnolia. We blogged about the new feature here: http://mobilicio.us/www/blog/2006/09/06/magnolia-integration-is-live/ Also, if anyone is running an app using the MySQLicious library and having trouble using it with Magnolia, let me know. I can help out (hint: check your API calls for double slashes //). Chris, thanks for turning me on to this. Our Mobilicio.us service now works with Ma.gnolia. We blogged about the new feature here:

I will never understand why del.icio.us insists on limiting us with the lack of this feature. It's like they are proudly displaying the geek heritage of the site without regard to accumulating more, less "techy" users. I have had a del.icio.us account for awhile now (a year? hmphhh, it's been so long I just cannot remember) and I am constantly going back and forth in my head as to weather to use underscores, no spaces at all or just utilize seperate words in tagging everything. Annoying. Honestly, the big draw for me with Ma.gnolia is the ability to use multiple words with actual spaces between them as tags.

I did a demo at MiniBarCampParis remember ? This was never officialy released because del.icio.us API is so ugly - so sucking GETfull - that i don't want encourage anyone to support it. Speaking about APIs, we'll re-launch our Atom Publishing Protocol based API in a few weeks, this is definitely the way to go. I coded this feature months ago in Blogmarks.net, this took me 2 hours.

Only complaint is that the site is slow (I am on a 2.5 mb connection). I like the tags with blank spaces. I set up on ma.gnolia, and successfully imported del.icio.us.

And an understandable problem to deal with when a product is scaling the way it is. so long as there are fixes in the works, im a happy user.

So far, I'd mention the following benefits over Delicious, which aren't dealmakers for some, but would be for others: <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups" rel="nofollow">Groups</a>, <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/discussions" rel="nofollow">Discussions</a>, screenshots, ratings, a clean design, a <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/support/api" rel="nofollow">richer API</a> and a very small, dedicated group of folks building out the site. I think over time it'll be obvious both who should use Ma.gnolia and why but we're still building out the foundation.
