Xmarks goes to the grave :(

Xmarks has announced the end of the line, you can read about that here.

This is sad news, I have had good use of the service, and would easily have paid a small fee to keep it up, as long as the fee would be reasonable.

I have not really used it much for syncing bookmarks, my use have mainly been to easily access my bookmarks when I’m not at my personal computer, but I have used it to sync between different browsers installed on my own computer.

I wrote about Xmarks previously here. Seems like I have used it far longer then that post indicates though

UPDATE

There’s hope, there may be an option to keep Xmarks, you can read their latest blogpost here.

They have set up a pledge at http://www.pledgebank.com/XmarksPremium, if you value the service Xmarks provide, go there and sign, I did already 🙂
