Mark Pack

Hip hip hooray for Xmarks – a tool which lets you synchronise web browser bookmarks across different computers and different web browsers.

It means that if, for example, you run Internet Explorer on a machine at work and Firefox on a machine at home, you can have the same set of bookmarks available in both, with any updates on one automatically reflected in the other too.

In my case, I’ve got three machines (work, home, portable) and each has three browsers on them – which used to make for nine different sets of bookmarks and endless issues with something having been bookmarked in a different browser from the one I needed it in.

I’d used other methods to synchronise some of them but have now moved over wholesale to Xmarks (which has steadily increased the range of browsers it supports). Much recommended.
