I was posting one of my anime episode, Naruto Shippuden 95 and started to share it with bookmarking sites like digg, stumbleupon, propeller, etc. When I clicked on the Ma.gnolia, it redirects me to an error page saying, ‘data corruption and loss‘. This means that the Ma.gnolia service is offline and members’ bookmarks are unavailable. Read the whole message after jump.

Dear Ma.gnolia Community Member or Visitor,

Early on the West-coast morning of Friday, January 30th, Ma.gnolia experienced every web service’s worst nightmare: data corruption and loss. For Ma.gnolia, this means that the service is offline and members’ bookmarks are unavailable, both through the website itself and the API. As I evaluate recovery options, I can’t provide a certain timeline or prognosis as to to when or to what degree Ma.gnolia or your bookmarks will return; only that this process will take days, not hours.

I will of course keep you appraised here and in our Twitter account.

Most importantly, I apologize to all of you who have made Ma.gnolia a home for your bookmarks and community. I know that many of you rely on Ma.gnolia in your day to day work and play to safely host you bookmarks, keeping them available around the clock, and that this is a difficult disruption.

Sincerely,
Larry

Let’s hope the best for Ma.gnolia.

Ma.gnolia is a social bookmarking web site with an emphasis on design, social features, and open standards. Users may rate bookmarks and mark bookmarks as private. One feature that distinguishes it from other similar web sites is the group feature, which allows several users to share a common collection of bookmarks, managed by a selected number of group managers. The design of the web site allows for integration of the service into other applications via both a REST API and an API similar to the Delicious API. The web browser Flock supports Ma.gnolia along with other services out of the box.
