Very few can argue with the thought that Ma.gnolia is a beautiful site. The look and feel alone makes me want to API all my bookmarks and import them into this relaxing site… in fact, I did… and I won’t be using Ma.gnolia, for now atleast.
Aesthetics aside, I’m stuck with the efficiency and real estate space I’ve grown accustomed too in Del.icio.us, and I’m sure I’m not alone. Case example, see the images below. Ma.gnolia = 6 lines per entry, Del.icio.us = 2.
Much of Ma.gnolia is impressive, and arguably well thought out — what I want in the end is not accomplished. I want streamlined bookmarks easily accessible just as if I were doing it in my native browser, but with the efficiency of being everywhere. If Ma.gnolia simplifies or offers me the option too, I may just jump ship… but until then, I’m sticking with what makes my life easiest, since isn’t that the new mantra of technology?
Social bookmarking is a bad example to play into this discussion, but the idea of improvement life quality with the help of technology has slipped the way of the dodo in various minds — where’s my washer and dryer of the computer world? In short, I want more time to myself doing the same things — and that means improve passive technology, streamline your toys, and give me breathing room. Speaking of, I want a Scooba for just that, more later…
