Mozilla's Weave browser sync add-on for Firefox hits beta
I've been using Mozilla Weave to keep my Firefox profiles synched across different machines and platforms for quite some time. Today, Mozilla Labs has announced that the add-on is finally ready for official beta testing.
Version 1.0b1 is out now and available for installation. Version 0.8 is still listed in the Firefox add-ons directory, but it should install the newest release. If you're already running Weave, just head to your Firefox add-ons and check for updates.
What's new in the latest version? More speed, a simplified interface, and smarter syncing in the background. Weave's settings screen is nicely integrated into the Firefox options menu, so there's every chance we'll see it integrated in a future version of Firefox - like its Labs cousin Personas.

I currently use Xmarks, is it worth switching over to Weave?

Yes, if you only use Firefox in other computers. I found Xmarks too heavy, sometimes Firefox looks frozen when Xmarks do the sync.
Some advantage of Xmarks : it available in several other browsers and you can actually browse your bookmarks using a web interface (I heard Weave going to implement it later).

yep, same here - for me Xmarks works like crap - I have a looot of bookmarks (but I suppose nothing to extreme) and while syncing down even several new boomarks it locked Firefox even for minutes - I dont get why people still tend to use it Xmarks, even Google new bookmarks syncing service is better

weave seems to work pretty good now but it took some house cleaning of the old bookmarks file to get there.
