XMarks: Sync those Bookmarks

Common problem: you have a nice list of bookmarks on your main computer but don’t have them on your laptop or your work computer. Even worse, what if have to wipe your computer then all your precious bookmarks you’ve saved over the years will be lost forever (you don’t seem like someone who knows how to frequently backup your bookmarks). Woe is you.

Enter: XMarks. A free add-on for the internet browser of your choice (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari). After a quick install and a creation of an XMarks account, your bookmarks will automatically be saved to the XMarks server. Nothing else needs to be done on your end. As you add bookmarks, XMarks will automatically update the list of bookmarks on their server.

You want your bookmarks on another computer? Just install XMarks on that computer, log into your account, and bam the bookmarks are pushed to that new computer. Now feel free to add bookmarks on either computer and rest assured that they will show up on both computers.

All free and pretty darn slick.

Have fun bookmarkin’
