Ma.gnolia for social bookmarking

Ahhhh, Ma.gnolias.... New Tag Site, Researchbuzz (Mar 9) - Ma.gnolia is a new social bookmarking site. It's not clear why we need another one since ther is already Furl, and My Yahoo and del.icio.us etc etc. But Tara Calishain has noted some useful extras -- "the extra search options, the ability to have both light and
regular RSS feeds for its tag search results, and the many groups already available."

You can get a good sense of the tagged collection of the Ma.gnolia community from the tag cloud page. If you are just visiting, browsing from that page will get you started. However, Ma.gnolia does not consolidate; there is substantial duplication because everyone's bookmarks with a particular tag are listed. Tagging also means variations in terms through spelling, capitalization, and spacing: web2.0, web 2.0, Web 2.0
