NAME
     MagAddQ - Adds bookmark to Ma.gnolia.com using magadd with default <title> from URL and takes space separated tags.

SYNOPSIS
     MagAddQ [URL] -title [TITLE] -desc [DESCRIPTION] -tags [TAGS]

EXAMPLES
     MagAddQ http://yubnub.com
          (Adds http://yubnub.com to Ma.gnolia with the title "Yub Nub - YubNub.org".)
     
     MagAddQ http://google.com -tags search engine
          (Adds http://google.com to Ma.gnolia with the title "Google" and tags "search" and "engine".)
     
     For more information see the man page for MagAdd (man magadd).

DESCRIPTION
     This command was created out of my need to post bookmarks to both del.icio.us and Ma.gnolia.com without entering tags twice. Because Magnolia uses a comma delimiter and Delicious uses a space, directly copying and pasting isn't an option. I now use a Firefox extension for Delicious, after creating this command I will be able to copy the tags I enter on delicious and paste them into the -tags switch of this command.
     
     Another added benefit of this command is automatic titles which are genererated by scraping the contents between the <title> and </title> tags of the URL given.
     
     While this may be quick, it's not the quickest. This problem inspired Allen Ormond to create the command DelMag which uses depost and MagAd after split to allow submission to both services far quicker, unfortunately it seems tags can't be input in both the delpost and the desa commands (seems del.icio.us changed something). After this problem is somehow alleviated I recommend delmag (or an alternative I have planned for submitting them rather than retreiving the input form) for solving this problem.

NOTES
     Unfortunately this command does break Ma.gnolia's multi-word tag ability.
