Xmarks

I have been using Xmarks (earlier called Foxmarks) for a long time to synchronize bookmarks and saved passwords among all the computers I use. It is an incredibly useful piece of software, and a free service until now. The developers cannot keep it as a free service any longer, and have announced that the service will be closed. Many people commented in the Xmarks blog that they would be willing to pay an annual fee for the system to be maintained. If you use regularly more than one PC or Mac or both you should be using Xmarks. There is a pledge to pay USD 10 per year to keep the service. I have made the pledge, and hope other people also pledge so that the system can be maintained. Xmarks is much better than any of the free alternatives and the only one to allows syncing across the Mac/PC divide or between different browsers.

The demise of Xmarks would be really sad. Please pledge to pay, if you have use for Xmarks. There are just a few days.
