Xmarks Sync to be Discontinued

Not cool. They list "alternatives," but I've already read that most of the alternatives aren't nearly as good, missing key features like sync profiles (critical for me and most people who have jobs).

Holy shit!

I love xmarks (foxmarks

) I use it on all my computers home and work (different profiles). This sucks.

I will check out the alternatives all, but if you find something else Veo let me know.

Yeah, I was really pissed when I got that email.

While it sucks, Firefox 4 and Chrome already offer syncing. I can't use either at work, so syncing at work doesn't matter to me.

No laptops/netbooks to sync your desktop with?

Sure, but I can do that natively in both Chrome and Firefox 4, without an extension.

perhaps: XMarks alternatives and similar software - AlternativeTo.net ?

Profiles was the biggest feature for me. I have all my bookmarks in one location, but can chose which computer sees them. They are are accessible thought the website, but only the select ones can be seen on each computer.

I move between computers a lot and it's nice saving a link and walking over to another computer and it's there.
