Farewell of Xmarks

I have started my blog by writing about Xmarks. Because I fell in love with that nice tool.

There are some alternatives. Eg. For firefox we can use firefox sync For Google Chrome -> Chrome sync etc. But still Xmarks rules.

But ……………..

They are going to shut down their free service from the effect of 10^th of January year 2011. These days they are sending an official mail regarding their farewell to each & every registered users.

I still admired one of statement of the beginning of their mail is

“Dear Xmarks User,

We've always said we won't email you unless it's important; this is one of those occasions:

Xmarks will be shutting down our free browser synchronization services on January 10, 2011. For details on how to transition to recommended alternatives, consult this page.

…….. “

Well ……. That’s very unfortunate. And also they have mentioned that the full story behind this departure can be viewed from their Xmarks blog.

So that’s it…..

They have done a great job. Very good job indeed. Good bye dear old Xmarks………
