"Found is the new search"


Cool (and not so cool) things about mag.nolia:

  • Great domain name.
  • Superb tag line (the title of this post).
  • Saved Copies of Web Pages - I've bookmarked many pages that now return 404's. This feature alone might be worth a business model.
  • Private bookmarks - Though why would a community oriented service encourage private stuff?
  • Bookmark rating system - We all love our lists, right?
  • Terrific design and they're rightfully proud of it.
  • Network with some well-known names - Ted Allen is there, Zeldman is there too.
They certainly did their homework and thought things through. However, as attractive as their service seems to be, I find no compelling reasons to move away from del.icio.us (and even less motivation to use two bookmarking services).
Really hope there is room for two in their segment.

[Update]: There is a great writeup here on their design/development process.
