Xmarks May Not Be Dead After All

Posted by kdawson on from the call-from-the-governor dept.

gatorfan sends word that Xmarks, which announced its upcoming closure a few days back, may not be so dead after all. The outcry from people willing to pay for the service was so loud that the company has now posted a pledge that users can sign if they are willing to pay for the service, and they say that they have fielded inquiries from several organizations who might be willing to buy the company's assets and keep the service going.

    Just curious, does Firefox sync addon support syncing to your own server somehow?

    I see no mention of such a feature on the plugin webpage, but you mention "so even if you sync to their servers" which implies the option.

    Thanks
