I'm happy to see people working to integrate content between the original source and FriendFeed. I think this makes using FriendFeed more valuable when the content is aggregated back to the source.

Hockley Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:31:01 +0000 http://fastwonderblog.com/2008/03/26/friendfeed-stats-and-analysis/#comment-8235 Thanks for the Ma.gnolia info, perhaps I'll check out that extension and things have improved since I looked at the situation a few months ago. I'll be honest that I really don't use the social aspect of del.icio.us very much... I pretty much just bookmark things for myself, the only real social side is that I subscribe to some search feeds. Perhaps if I was into more link-swapping with friends I'd be more drawn to Ma.gnolia (or perhaps not... I don't really know since that's not how I use the service). You're right Dawn, everyone has their own uses, sounds like you're quite happy with Ma.gnolia and I'm pretty happy with del.icio.us. Nothing wrong with that. But I love being talked into some new tool... it just hasn't happened with Ma.gnolia. At one point Marshall K was talking about doing a "why I like Ma.gnolia better than del.icio.us" post with some specifics, maybe I'll have to bug him again...

With any of these sites where the social aspect is important, we tend to go where our friends are. It even allowed me to easily export everything from del.icio.us to make the switch quickly. We all get used to our tools and each have different features that we think are the most important. I'm a big fan of picking the tool that works for you. I just happen to like Ma.gnolia :-) I have a Ma.gnolia button on my toolbar that lets me easily add the current page to Ma.gnolia along with description, tags, etc.

I have buttons that allow me bookmark with a toolbar button. There's even a sidebar item that works with ma.gnolia and many other bookmark sites, not just de.icio.us: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/5478 I prefer ma.gnolia because of signal:noise is much better for my tastes compared to de.icio.us (that may be a side-product of being the fringe player). And the interface is aesthetically a pleasure to use, whereas on del.icio.us, not so much. Del.icio.us is the household name. Ma.gnolia is the tool I want to use. PC v. Mac I guess (I'm a Mac user).

I can bookmark everything with a toolbar button, entirely within Firefox - I never visit the website. Similarly, I can browse and search all of my del.icio.us bookmarks from the Firefox sidebar. Ma.gnolia is pretty, but when it comes to bookmarking I'm going to favor function over eye candy. re: Ma.gnolia and why I don’t use it: the del.icio.us Firefox extension kicks ass.
