Ma.gnolia.com Launches to Rave Reviews

SAN FRANCISCO, Ca. FEBRUARY 27, 2005 – Gnolia Systems, LLC, a San Francisco-based technology company, has launched Ma.gnolia.com, a new social bookmarking service with an emphasis on usability, mainstream appeal, enhanced social networking capability and viable business sustainability.

Ma.gnolia launched on February 15th after a two-month private beta. Upon launch, the site opened its doors to a flood of feedback about the site features that seemed to be absent from other social bookmarking services. In specific, Ma.gnolia awaited feedback from members on the site’s user-centric design and community elements such as groups, contacts and bookmark sharing. Almost instantly, the positive responses started rolling in.

Said Todd Sieling, Ma.gnolia’s Product Manager, “We were prepared for any reaction, but the overwhelming response was that of gratitude for creating a social bookmarking site that actually thought about what the user experience would be. One user actually told us that he wanted to marry Ma.gnolia, and more than a few referred to us as a del.icio.us killer. And obviously that’s encouraging, especially considering the number of features and enhancements we’ll be rolling out over the next months.”

Larry Halff, Ma.gnolia founder, was also encouraged and surprised. “Not only were the reviews echoing what we thought about when developing Ma.gnolia, but the number of positive comments affirms that we’ve built a product that people both want and want to use. The best part about our feedback cycle, though, is that almost every response to our site creates one or more items for us to consider adding, and that more than anything will improve the experience that Ma.gnolia offers.”

Ma.gnolia is currently increasing users by 17% a day with over half a million marked bookmarks already. Over 100 groups have been created. To learn more about Ma.gnolia and see the growing collection of bookmarks and community members, visit http://ma.gnolia.com.
