Yet another one that I will have to check out! It seems that no matter of these you’re already on or participating in, there a ton more still that keep popping up and demanding some attention.
I just wonder which social bookmarking and networking sites are really giving the ultimate bang for the buck.
Thanks for the info.

I have used Magnolia only for a couple of weeks now, but I really like it a lot more than most other social media sites. The community feel to it is much higher.
I haven’t used Roots yet, but I think that is the next thing that I am going to test out . . .

I have yet to try this one, I have been engulfing myself in social media sites but this one I have yet to scratch.
After reading this post I guess I will give them a shot, we will see if time permit to actually make it useful though.

I like Ma.gnolia. Although Delicious is still king of the bookmarking world, I think Ma.gnolia has some really cool features, nice layout, and is MUCH more socially crafted.
Add me to your ma.gnolia network and send me your links!
I’m JaqBaldwin (Mrpat8ohed) on ma.gnolia. Great post and very helpful information.

I do not have time to participate in all social bookmarking sites out there. I am on the lookout for sites that really come well recommended before giving it a plunge.
Thanks for this post. It is the kind of information I need.
