Popular social bookmarking site, Delicious, is now connected to Twitter. Before, the “popular bookmarks” page contains a list of the most saved web pages which were bookmarked by different users. Like any other famous social bookmarking and networking sites such as Digg and Twitter (which had just launched its new design), Delicious also reinvented its pages and gives a new service for their users.If you take a look with the “Fresh Bookmarks” section and click on the arrow right button, you get to see different “Related Tweets” which are related to the subject. A user can now tweets while saving a bookmark.

Delicious explains the changes of their service:

“On the previous delicious.com page (click the Popular tab), you typically found links that had ~100 bookmarks – so more authoritative resources as opposed to fresh news. Additionally, given that the most popular tag on delicious is ‘design’, you probably encountered headlines like ‘100+ Wordpress Themes’ on most days (in fact, I used to make bets on this).

For this new Fresh homepage, our system displays recently bookmarked links and tweeted messages focused mostly on technology, web, politics, and media. Underneath the hood, Fresh factors several features into the ranking like related bookmark and tweet counts, “eats our own dogfood” by leveraging BOSS to filter for high quality results, as well as stitches tweets to related articles even if the tweets do not provide matching URLs (as ~81% of tweets do not contain URLs).”

Along the launch of Delicious’ new features follows also the positive and negative feedbacks of fans and avid users.

Ma.gnolia, a very popular bookmarking site experienced data corruption and loss. Ma.gnolia is one of the leaders in social bookmarking and community sites like StumbleUpon, del.icio.us, Reddit among many others. The site continues to be offline while repairs are being made and founder Larry Haff has posted a new update that says attempts at restoring user data have been unsuccessful. In the meantime, it provides users to use some useful tools that let the users grab a portion of the user’s bookmarks for safekeeping.

Putting up a notice to its users to tell them what was going on keeps panic at a low, and more importantly–does not make people think you’re shutting down and taking their data or content with you.
