Foxmarks to Xmarks

Do you like to have your Firefox bookmarks portable and go with you whichever terminal computer you might use? if it is a yes, you should definitely try out Foxmarks and it is newly known as Xmarks!

Xmarks is a Firefox plug-in and you can upload your Firefox bookmarks to your account on Xmarks' server, so you can synchronize your bookmarks regardless of location, OS systems or PC ownership. Certainly, to enjoy that, you need an account with Xmarks and it is free.
What's new and cool about Xmarks is that when you do google search, on the search result display page you will find additional butterfly buttons providing additional information to help you screen the result and find the relevant ones. It looks really clean and cool. No click is necessary unless you are sure to be redirected to the site. If someone has booked that URL before, that button will show up on the right side of the display result and everything is mouse-over, meaning you don't have to click and see what more information the additional buttons bring to you.

I've been holding an account with foxmarks for a couple of years. I find it very helpful and useful. I can access the same set of bookmarks on different computers on my univeristy campus and also in the two systems on my mbp. I think this is something will help you with your Internet Use Efficiency!
