Extensive outage at ma.gnolia.com.
Quoted: Dear Ma.gnolia Community Members or Visitor,
...
Early on the West-coast morning of Friday, January 31st, Ma.gnolia experienced every web service's worst nightmare: data corruption and loss. For Ma.gnolia, this means that the service is offline and members' bookmarks are unavailable, both through the website itself and the API. As I evaluate recovery options, I can't provide a certain timeline or prognosis as to to when or to what degree Ma.gnolia or your bookmarks will return; only that this process will take days, not hours.
...
I will of course keep you appraised here and in our Twitter account.
...
Most importantly, I apologize to all of you who have made Ma.gnolia a home for your bookmarks and community. I know that many of you rely on Ma.gnolia in your day to day work and play flow to safely host you bookmarks, keeping them available around the clock, and that this is a difficult disruption.
...
Sincerely,
Larry

Article from last summer - Ray Ozzie is talking up Microsoft's "Cloud" (Data Centers). They may have lots of hardware - but I'm skeptical that MS is building the same level of shared (internal) assets that Google has done - some of the products they are deploying are "enterprise" scale products - crammed into "global scale" services. They were just not designed to work in this environment - creating a kludge system.
In any event - they're about 5 years behind Google in doing it.
