The popular Foxmarks bookmark sync service becomes Xmarks

We've mentioned a few times that we recommend the Foxmarks bookmark synchronisation service. This add-on for Mozilla Firefox and other browsers enables you to make sure you have the same bookmarks synchronised across your various computers, irrespective of operating system. Your Mac-based laptop can offer you access to your bookmarks from your office PC. Foxmarks was updated recently so it now supports other browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Safari. This means you can add bookmarks to your PC-based Firefox and then access the same bookmarks on your Mac-based Safari browser. Better still, if you need to use a temporary host PC, you can use your bookmarks online without having to download them to the local computer.

Foxmarks has now become Xmarks. Well, the migration has started. Xmarks is an updated version of Foxmarks that now enables you to see website recommendations, based on a Google search. The downside is that this add-on is Firefox-only, although they do promise versions for other browsers by the end of March. The old Foxmarks add-on is still available, too, for the time being.
