Stop being so miserable about Ma.g.no.l.ia.. It's ace. And have a happy birthday.

Assuming one's dead set on going with the dot then on a purely aesthetic level "Ma.gnolia" looks better than "Mag.nolia," off centered as it is. Though I suppose one could rebutt with "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" in which case everyone could go home right.

I am a convert from del.icio.us to ma.gnolia myself. I find the look of ma.gnolia to be a bit more pleasant than del.icio.us. I think del.icio.us has a bit more efficient use of space than ma.gnolia and, yes, the "." or "."s, as the case may be, in both names is a little annoying but if you are going to talk about a tech slant I think del.icio.us is far more slanted towards that side of the aisle both in the focus of the most actively linked pages and in it's function. I mean, c'mon, why in god's name can I still not use multi-word tags on del.icio.us? That just bugged. And those "tag bundles"? I always found their implementation very user un-friendly.
I also find ma.gnolia far more "social" than del.icio.us. The groups feature and the newer discussions aspect has led me to some awesome links. And those links, of late, have been on the subject of espresso and coffee beans. How un-tech can you get?
They have also revamped the "featured linkers" aspect of the site. Yeah, they were a little dull. At first it was quite cool to see Alton Brown of FoodTV's Good Eats as a featured linker but after going back to his bookmarks again and again and never seeing them change it got to be a little stale. Not to mention all the bookmarks seemed more than a little self-serving. They are now far more relevant and the list of linkers is made up of regular people who stand out for more than just their star quality.
Oh yeah, and I never knew ma.gnolia was started by the happy cog folks until I saw this post.

I'm with the Ma.gnolia team and wanted to offer a point of clarification that Happy Cog did our logo and site design and templates, but did not found the company. A quick email to us would have clarified that, but why settle for accuracy when you can have impact.

Thank you for the point of clarification - I will edit the post accordingly, I would always prefer accuracy over impact. The Internet is too full of inaccurate rubbish as it is.
