Do you use Xmarks? Bad news...
« on: Monday, September 27, 2010, 08:31:27 PM »
They are shutting down in January.

So go get your bookmarks off of there.

I like their little chart with alternatives.

Firefox Sync (Mozilla) - Free
Chrome Sync (Google) - Free
Windows Live Essentials (Microsoft) - Free
MobileMe (Apple) - $99/year

Free, free, free! Oh, and Apple charges $100 every year for it.

Steve Jobs is like a reverse hooker.  People suck him off yet he's the one getting paid.

Haha ;D

EDIT:
There's another service called MyBookmarks.

EDIT2:
Firefox Sync is available as an add-on for Firefox 3.x.x but I took the opportunity to install Firefox 4 Beta (on beta 6 now) since it's built-in. I'm really liking the changes! There are some UI parts that were clearly inspired by Chrome and Opera. It also renders fonts differently (more like Safari). I also appreciate the option of having tabs above the address bar (a la Chrome) or traditionally below. Check it out.
