Ma.gnolia message of destruction (Screenshot)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Devastated! Sorry for so many blog posts in one day, but this is terrible news! I'm a regular Ma.gnolia user!

I noticed their site was down earlier today when I tried bookmarking a few things; but that happens sometimes - Ma.gnolia's always been a bit sketchy with their servers - but I didn't think something like this would happen.

Gosh, I feel for these guys and only hope that they were taking regular backups of the database - for my sake, rather than theirs - but their message doesn't fill me with confidence on that one. Bah!

Would this be a bad time to jump ship, or would that be wrong? I like Ma.gnolia; if the damage isn't too bad, I guess I'll stick with them.

I'm not sure what that is, but today is Friday, Jan. 30... not 31. wink

You're asking a good question. Here are my thoughts on this matter: http://my.opera.com/techie-chat/blog/2009/01/31/on-the-dangers-of-cloud-computing. As for my answer, no, I don't think it's wrong to jump ship at this point. I will install a social bookmarking application on my own website and use that instead. One less middleman.

I'm a big delicious fan, and while I have a magnolia account, I rarely use it. If it were me, I'd use delicious until they get it back up, then just save/switch your new bookmarks over to magnolia.
