I am a long time fan of Xmarks, especially their similar sites feature .. their shutdown made me :(


Anyways, what are alternates? :)

Shame, I was long term user as well. They have listed some alternatives here.

:Oh crap

x marks the spot?

It's because Firefox now has their own sync, so not much use for xmarks.
Especially in the new Firefox, the sync is standard built in the browser.

I really like xmarks and its always the first thing I install on a new PC, after Firefox.

It's too bad they are going, unfortunately their service worked so well you rarely had to think about it at all.

Yeah, sucks. I used them since the beginning.

No, its because they couldn't monetize the service. And having a feature built-in as standard doesn't eliminate the possibility of using 3rd party software. IE is a perfect example.

Xmarks was also popular for telling related sites, in addition to syncing.

if you have the latest version of xmarks, you can set it so you can sync it to your own server.

I using roboform to have bookmarks available on all browsers.

Damn I absolutely love that plugin :(

Xmarks is better than built in syncing because it can sync across different browsers.
