On 15 February 2006, Jeffery Zeldman and the thought-forward folks at Happy Cog helped to launched ma.gnolia, a then-new social bookmarking tool.
Me being the all-important web prof that spreads the occasional DWWS love to my students immediately fell in love with its utter simplicity. Coupled with finding similar sites like digg and del.icio.us far too yucky for their time, I signed up for my own ma.gnolia account five days later.
And just five days ago, I received a warm note from Larry Halff, ma.gnolia’s founder, that I shall now appear as a Featured Linker on the site.
Small honor? Perhaps in the grand scheme but to me it’s huge. All for sharing with you those bookmarks I feel are worth a damn on the site, this blog, Facebook, FriendFeed and I suppose Twitter.
There’s even a nice little blog post about me and my newest esteemed colleagues in the newest “Featured” ranks.
Hey, it may not pay, but it’s a living. And thanks again, Larry!
