Foxmarks changing its name to Xmarks
I am a heavy Firefox user and my experience is made much more pleasurable by using foxmarks its actually in the process of changing its name to Xmarks. I presume they are doing this because they are no going to be supporting Internet Explorer and Safari aswell as Firefox. This is a good call in my opinion because if you work across multiple operating systems and are forced into using multiple browser types having this is just awesome. I have noticed some oddities in some of my bookmarks / favourites in Internet Explorer with some entries that look like this… “—“ etc I presume these are dividers which have been pulled over from Firefox.
However what I am going to do is have a massive cull of bookmarks and see if I can keep my bookmarks in order across a multitude of computers browsers and operating systems.
One issue that’s bugging me though is that I will have to install clients for each browser on each machine. I already use Live MESH to sync Internet Explorer favourites but mesh doesn’t extend to Linux (unless you use some cunning virtualization).
Is the best solution here to start a clean slate delete all your default bookmarks / favourites? Then get syncing!
