My Geek Finds

Between my computer at work with IE and Firefox and my computer at home running IE and Firefox, I have bookmarks and favorites spread all over the place – hundreds of them. I go home at night to do some research and remember bookmarking a site earlier but that was at work, log in to the office VPN just to get a bookmark. Not the end of the world, but still frustrating and time consuming. Xmarks allows you to easily manage, organize, and share your browser bookmarks/favorites.

I generally use Firefox for most browsing, but there are some vendor portals, sites, and utilities that either require or simply work better with IE or Firefox. Occasionally I will favorite something in IE and want it later with Firefox.

Xmarks is a free utility/service that lets you manage and maintain your bookmarks/favorites between browsers and computers. You simply sync your bookmarks using different profiles (work/home/etc) that you create and configure.

You also have access to all of your bookmarks/favorites online from any computer using the My Xmarks portal and you can share your bookmarks with others.
