The Ma.gnolia bookmarking system is unrecoverable: The developers lost both their primary user data storage, and backups were apparently unusable. After three years of operation as a free bookmarking site, akin to Yahoo's Delicious, Ma.gnolia won't be operating any more. The site's owner, Larry Halff, was able to retrieve publicly bookmarked data, and has provided that to users. But private information is gone for good. A recovery effort didn't work.
