I have been using Xmarks for a year now and there isn't anything out there that syncs bookmarks on multiple browsers (FireFox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, IE, Safari) and computers (Windows; Mac OS X; Linux) and am upset about them shutting down the service in January 2011.

I LOVE the little thumbnails on my Google searches and the category ranking. As I find it really futile to search on Google cause there is just tooooo much dang results. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack. I did a search on “webdesign” and 3 of the first 10 results are sites that I regularly use. This makes everything more relevant for me. The whole out-of-sight-out of mind thing which is so great about the program.

I sent Todd Agulnick the Co-Founder and CTO of Xmarks, Inc. a message on Facebook and he personally responded, so they are really looking at our feedback.

So please read the announcement blog post http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=1886

Then the latest blog post, http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=1945 and take the pledge on http://www.pledgebank.com/XmarksPremium if you would genuinely pay $10 / year for Xmarks.

Lastly share this information with your friends on Geeks, Facebook and Twitter.

Xmarks is by far the best thing that has ever happened to my browsing online. I have to say though, it's not going to make me cry tears of sorrow to see it leave, I'll just move onto something else similar. However, I will see if I can pledge some money their way because I've been a member for around 3 years and I LOVE it.
Shame the potential buyers got cold feet, this service is a no brainier! Best add-on for any browser!

Also for me one of the best and add ons of the world, and the most usefull. But if they are serious, it won't come that far, the getsatisfaction.com blog allready offers some nice Business solutions...
