Foxmarks - Today's Browser Tip

Bookmarks Synchronizer is
an invaluable those who use Firefox on several machines but has two problems: First, it requires an FTP or WebDAV
server, and second, its development has pretty much stalled. (If you really want to give it a try, check here.) Foxmarks attempts to pick up the torch and eliminate those problems:
First, Foxmarks has a remote server where your bookmarks are stored so you need an FTP or WebDAV account (though you
can still use one if you've got it), and second, it's under active developent—in fact it's brand new. Also, it
has a pretty cool logo.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

I love Foxmarks! I just wish it would work on one of my computers. When I attempt to sync after downloading and installing version 2.6.2 thinking that would resolve the problem, it has not. Using the installation wizard I was able to login to my account and start the sync process. That is as far as I can go. Foxmarks is setting there spinning its wheels. All dressed up and ready to go. Using XP SP2. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

Been using it a few weeks. There is still room for improvement, but it definitely carries on the torch from the defunct Bookmarks Synchronizer. You can still set it to use your own server if you are concerned about storing your bookmarks on theirs. Wish it had SFTP capability though.
