    ofThe past ten days have been an amazing lesson in the power of community. Not in the “web 2.0 social graph” sense – I’m talking about old school community with users speaking up, speaking out and banding together. Thank you Xmarks users. You told the world it was simply unacceptable for our service to shut down and it worked. Thanks to your passion, Xmarks now has multiple offers from companies ready and willing to take over the service and keep making browser sync better and better!

    I've switched as well, to Chrome Sync, but I loved XMarks when I used it. Glad to see that they aren't just going to fade away.

I have created two profiles, for different computers. Each computer is set to it's own profile, when I sync, one computer gets all the other computers bookmarks, instead of each one syncing to their own bookmark profile. When I view the profiles for each computer, the bookmarks are the same ?

XMarks works in latest Firefox. But clicking Sync in latest Chrome dev version just hangs. I'm using Chrome dev 6.0.447.0. It does exactly the same thing in Vista64 and Windows Seven 32 bit. Tried Firefox and that works so I don't think it's the server.
