Gnolia – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gnolia, named Ma.gnolia until 2009, was a social bookmarking web site with an emphasis on design, social features, and open standards. It is now perhaps most notable for losing members’ bookmarks in a widely reported[2][3][4][5][6] data loss incident in January 2009. It relaunched as a smaller service several months later and was ultimately shut down at the end of 2010.

Users could rate bookmarks and mark bookmarks as private. Unlike its main competitor[7] Delicious, Ma.gnolia stored snapshots of bookmarked web pages. One feature that distinguished it from other similar web sites was the group feature, which allowed several users to share a common collection of bookmarks, managed by a selected number of group managers.

The design of the web site allowed for integration of the service into other applications via both a REST API and an API similar to the Delicious API.
