Xmarks finds a buyer, prepares to launch new freemium version
Xmarks, the bookmark sync utility that was saved from the brink of destruction by a grassroots pledge drive just a short while ago, is now declaring itself alive and well. A buyer for the service has come forward, and the new owners will carry Xmarks forward under a freemium model, with both paid and free components.There are no details yet about a relaunch date or about what features might be included in the paid version of Xmarks, but the Xmarks blog is asking folks who pledged that they'd pay for Xmarks if it stayed alive to "hold that thought" and make sure to sign up for premium accounts.

I always loved Xmarks but I'm not sure if there's a browser left that doesn't have its abilities either built in or available as a free addon. The one thing that would make me keep using it on FF would be if it could sync extensions and themes, and install them w/o interaction. Yes, I know about Siphon, it still makes you manually install every single addon.

Awesome news! I love Xmarks. It's one of those programs you just can't live without. I love the fact that I can sync every single computer I own. I know it's a pretty standard feature but I have never had a reason to look elsewhere. Xmarks does it all.

If this news had come out before I'd tried out and was won over by Firefox Sync, this would be great news indeed.
