honestly - Magnolia is not intuitive enough

Even though I am completely new to social bookmarking/tagging etc and the first time I ever tried Delicious was this week (Steve - you aren't reading this right? I found my "new to me" other ways!!) I can quickly tell I prefer Delicious over Magnolia. I signed up for Magnolia and honestly was at a loss - there is just no easy way to start. Okay, I gotta admit, I like the Magnolia graphic, it is peppy and my favorite color scheme but beyond that - not so much... I found a group that is in a class a little like 598 and using Magnolia, in case anyone is interested in what they are doing at San Jose State -> http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/classes/coursedesc.htm but beyond that I am bouncing around and not getting anywhere. It could be I am not concentrating, or it could be that it just isn't as easy to get going, I don't know! I must admit, I didn't add the buttons to my toolbars etc, as I already have more than enough junk going on for my personal, spare aesthetic tastes, but really it should be self explanatory what to do! So after its 15 minutes of fame I am giving up. Did I give it a fair shot? probably not. But in today's busy world with the myriad of choices at our fingertips I have to learned to move on if something just isn't clicking with me! So I am moving on and hoping that another classmate can better describe a product that I just didn't get!
