Alex: Obviously during my research for what was already out there I came across your plugin, which is great and works well, but I didn't want to use RSS for the obvious reason that each post may contain more than one tag - which means that I could be able to use your plugin for this specific use case.

Using the API just seemed like a better approach.

I'm hoping that the Ma.gnolia team has the time within the next week or so to publicly release and documenting some of the method arguments I'm using for this to work - so that I can have others try this plugin and get feedback prior to opening its source to the world. You'll be on my list!

Sweet Colin! I can't wait to see what you've built. The Ma.gnolia plugin for WordPress that I maintain is showing its age as more and more people encounter issues with their host locking down fopen(), so it would be great if your work could provide a better way for folks to display their links.

If you need anyone to help test, please let me know!

Alex

Chris PallÃ©: I have it, at this point, so that it can work with all public bookmarks, personal bookmarks, and group bookmarks. I have not yet tried it with "my contact's bookmarks" but I could certainly build that in, or perhaps you could tweak it once I release it.

Colin-
This sounds really stinkin' cool. What are the possibilities of bringing in from groups and contacts? Those are my favorite feeds to watch.

Thanks, C

Include it as an option when you release the plugin if you can :)

Oh and "you need a gravatar"!

Hillary: You're probably right! Look for the release in the coming weeks.

Chris: Yes, yes it is.

Josue: In some cases yes. But more often than not I jot down some thoughts within Ma.gnolia that may, or may not, add some context.

cool, wouldn't it be better to link to the sites directly instead of the magnolia bookmark pages?
