4+ Free XMarks Alternatives To Sync Your Bookmarks. There are a few XMarks alternatives out there, that you can use as a replacement to XMarks. None of them are identical to XMarks but rather, have similar options or achieve the same end result. The first step when making the move from XMarks to another service is to export your bookmarks. Log into your account, go to tools, and select “˜export bookmarks to HTML,’ and make a note of where your bookmarks file is saved. Google Bookmarks (Firefox & Chrome, Multi-platform) One option when moving away from XMarks would be to use Google Bookmarks. Chrome users have this feature built into their browser allowing them to sync their bookmarks automatically to their Google accounts.

Firefox Sync (Firefox, Multi-platform) Firefox users can install the add-on Firefox Sync which allows you to not only sync bookmarks but also your settings, passwords and other customisations. You will then be prompted to enter a secret phrase of at least 12 characters, and choose your sync settings. Foxish live RSS - Google Chrome extension gallery. 11 Ways to Backup your del.icio.us bookmarks.

FavBackup Backs Up and Restores Any Browser - Windows - Lifehacker. Transmute – Migrate Bookmarks Between Your Browsers. Call Transmute a bookmark “˜synchronization’ tool. Transmute calls itself the ultimate bookmarks converter. Both claims need to hold true for filling in a job that’s a result of prolific web browsing and using more than one browser to do it. It’s safe to assume that you have more than one browser installed on your system.

I have five. Though we may not use more than two, all of us suffer from a bit of browser fancy. As soon as developers announce a launch of a browser that promises to speed up the web for us, we click on the download link. That’s not a problem, but keeping the same set of bookmarks across the browsers is. Xmarks is a nifty solution to migrate bookmarks across the world. Transmute attempts to fill the gap by letting us migrate bookmarks across all the browsers. Why Is it Such a Headache to Migrate Bookmarks? Not very much so, but every browser has its own way of storing its bookmarks. Next, you have to manually weed out the duplicates by going through each and every link. Spectives: an image-only way to track your favorite sites. Spectives is a new way of following sites visually, by filtering new images as they're posted.

You can subscribe to one site, or create a themed collection. When the sites update, your collection will update. Clicking on any image takes you to the source page, so you can read the post that goes along with it. It's a simple idea, and the execution is well-done in terms of both usability and visual appeal. You don't have to sign up for an account to search or browse collections, but it does have advantages.

You can make your own collections and add favorites to your Spectives homepage as tabs for easy access. Although Spectives seems like an alternative to RSS, you can also get RSS feeds of your collections if you prefer to take in your visual content that way. UPDATE: Spectives does actually have an "open in new tab" option, if you're logged in. Tags: collection, image, spectives, visual. New extension finally brings Google Bookmarks support to Chrome. When we first got a sniff of Chrome from the infamous comic book pages, most of us figured that a Google browser would feature tight integration with Google's web-based services.

Though I guess if you count the metrics Google gathers via Chrome, that counts as a kind of integration. It's just not what we were looking for. What about things like Web History (which I still find just a tad creepy) and Bookmarks? Thanks to a new extension, you can now easily add Google Bookmarks support to Chrome. Grab GBX from Uninformed Opinion and you'll be enjoying bookmark portability bliss in no time.

After installing GBX, you have the option of replacing your bookmarks bar, adding a Google Bookmarks folder to it, or loading your items into the 'other bookmarks' folder. At last, a simple way to keep at least your bookmarks in sync across multiple machines running Chrome! Tags: bookmarks, google-chrome, opensource, synchronization.

Firefox is an incredibly versatile and flexible tool that offers a lot of possibilities for individual customization. An integral part of browsing the internet is collecting URLs or favorites, better known as bookmarks within the Mozilla browser family.

The integrated Firefox bookmarks however are rarely used to their full potential. Here is a selection of tools that will help you get quick and easy access to your most important bookmarks. Bookmarks Toolbar The Bookmarks Toolbar provides instant access to a small collection of your most favorite and most visited websites. You can even add folders with bookmarks to this toolbar. However, with just text, the Bookmarks Toolbar is rather bleak. I love the Bookmarks Toolbar, but I notoriously run out of space and have to pool URLs into folders or move them to the main bookmarks section. Bookmarks in Tabs Fast Dial integrates this feature, which was originally introduced by the Opera browser, into Firefox. Auto Dial is similar but different. Too Lazy to Click that StumbleUpon Button? Playericious May Be for You - ReadWriteWeb. Social bookmarking sites - as many of us know - are a veritable treasure trove of information, especially when it comes to common tags like "howto" or "webdesign.

" But sometimes, clicking through all of those links can get a bit arduous. That's what makes playericious so great. It's designed to let you be lazy. Just a few keystrokes and you'll soon be perusing the best delicious and ma.gnolia have to offer. Playericious is incredibly simple to use: specify a tag for which you'd like to see pages, pick delicious or magnolia as the source, and hit go.

There's something strangely appealing about watching playericious do what it does. The one drawback is that playericious uses frames. The developer claims that the service isn't terribly useful. Take a few minutes to test drive playericious. Using Your Own Server - Foxmarks Wiki. Internet Explorer Favorites Search. One of the areas where Microsoft's Internet Explorer is lagging behind is favorites management. Favorite is just another term for bookmarks in Internet Explorer. Even the latest beta of Internet Explorer 8 does not come with effective tools to manage the favorites in the web browser.

One of the main functions missing is a favorites search. Internet Explorer does not offer a way to search in the favorites which is one of the most fundamental functions for many users. Imagine having to scroll through thousands of favorites to find the one you are looking for. Internet Explorer Favorites Search is a small plugin for Internet Explorer that adds the functionality to search Internet Explorer Favorites to the browser. If the icon does not appear after installation do the following: Right-click a toolbar in Internet Explorer and select the Customize > Add Or Remove Commands option from the menu. Locate the entry Favorites Search and move it to the list of Current Toolbar buttons. Visualize Your Bookmarks With Tidy Favorites - ReadWriteWeb.

Web 2.0 applications like delicious, diigo, Ma.gnolia, and others changed bookmarking forever. What used to be a private activity isolated to your computer became a social experience where friends could easily share, search, blog, and tag each other's favorite links. But personal, private bookmarking never really went away because, face it, there are some links that don't need to be shared. For those links, a service called Tidy Favorites delivers an innovative new way to work with your bookmarks using an intuitive visual search engine and dashboard.

Your Un-Social Bookmarks There are tons of sites on the web that you want to tag and share with others, but there are also plenty that don't need to be out there for everyone to see. You don't need to socially share the link to your blog's administration page, for example, or the link to your local news and weather site. Visual Search For Personal Bookmarks We've noticed visual search is a space that's heating up.

Check your del.icio.us bookmarks » gHacks tech news. Checking the bookmarks that I have saved to the bookmarking service del.icio.us is a boring and long lasting task that is better not performed manually depending on the number of bookmarks that you have saved to the service. Even if you have only saved a hundred or so bookmarks, you will spend some time clicking on each link to verify that the website it points to still exists. I discovered the small Java application Fresh del.icio.us some time ago which automates the process for you. It checks all bookmarks stored on del.icio.us automatically so that you do not have to do so.

You do need the java virtual machine to execute the jar file though so keep that in mind before you start to download the program. After that you only have to supply your login and password to del.icio.us and click on the Fresh button. All bookmarks in that account on del.icio.us will be analyzed and added to a list of bookmarks. A view only filter displays only certain bookmarks if activated.
