Gnolia. 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. 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. Open standards[edit] Ma.gnolia supported open standards and was often among early adopters of these standards. In December 2007, Ma.gnolia collaborated with Engagd[11] to let users build attention profiles from their bookmarks[citation needed]. M2 project[edit] In August 2008, founder Larry Halff announced a ground-up rewrite of the service called M2.[13][14] Parts of the new version were going to be provided under an open source license.
