Send to Ma.gnolia from FeedDemon

Posted on August 22, 2007, under Web Dev/Tech.

To keep track of my favorite sites, I’ve been using the Ma.gnolia social-bookmarking service for quite awhile. I never got into de.licio.us, but Ma.gnolia has been working well for me. Overall the whole concept works great, they just need to make some tweaks to their search engine to make it a little speedier (*hint*hint* guys).

To keep up on the latest news and blog posts, I had been using the free Newsgator Online reader, but got enough daily value both professionally and personally that I decided to put down the money and buy the integrated FeedDemon client. I have not regretted it one bit. FeedDemon is awesome.

Yesterday, I found a tip to bring them both a little bit closer together. Sean Brady posted both on his blog, and in the Ma.gnolia wiki, a way to add Ma.gnolia in the SendTo action menu for feed posts by creating a tiny XML file in the FeedDemon install directory. Essentially, FeedDemon makes it really easy to add other “SendTo” action items. So, if you don’t use Ma.gnolia, you could tweak the XML file for your own favorite online service.

Thanks Sean!

Hey there! Glad the tip was helpful. I agree that both FeedDemon and Ma.gnolia are great programs. I can tell you with out a doubt that the guys at Ma.gnolia know about the search issues and are working to get them fixed up.
