You can find the Business Model post here, on the Ma.gnolia wiki, the original version having been published on April 5. No updates follow, and indeed, the most recent update I can find on that wiki was by me, posted on the same date.

The good news is that when one goes to the Ma.gnolia homepage one does find a form for requesting invitations. I'm just wondering if Mr. Halff is starting to run out of steam, which would certainly be understandable, at this point. Then again, maybe he was just out enjoying his summer. One can overanalyse these things.

One of the few pieces of good news that came out of the Jan 30 mishap that swelled Diigo's ranks with former Ma.gnolia users was that many of the lost bookmarks were recoverable, especially if those users were using Friendfeed as well. I'm not generally a fan of that service, as it doesn't allow for comment screening, but one can set one's feed to "private", and a little extra insurance doesn't hurt. Let's hope that Diigo never suffers a similar incident, but just in case it does, being ready for it isn't a bad thing.

Something from better times for a little company. Video of Larry Halff talking about his plans for open sourcing ma.gnolia.

Updates - if any more will ever be seen - on the progress of the service that many of Diigo's current users came from, after the January 30, 2009 data loss incident.

Development site for an open code release of the Ma.gnolia social bookmarking platform. Ma.gnolia is another bookmarking site that, prior to a well known crash of its system, planned to decentralise itself by encouraging the creation of a great many "little ma.gnolias" - satellite sites running ma.gnolia software, that would maintain a tie to the home site. The loss of all user data from the main site has set such plans back, but hasn't necessarily ended them altogether.
