Internet Marketing Tips and Freebies

I was sitting at work the other day and was talking with one of my co-workers about an application that I had bookmarked on my home laptop. 

Then as always, when I needed a tool or solution it was presented to me.  I mentioned to a friend my need and he had the perfect solution.

He turned me onto a neat little add on for Firefox called Xmarks (formerly known as Foxmarks).

This is a great little add on that provides a way for you to synchronize and back up your bookmarks across several computers and browsers (synchronize across Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari browsers running on Windows, OSX, and Linux).

Xmarks stores and backups your bookmarks for all your browsers on a secure server. There is also (optional) password synchronization available.

Just download and install the add-on.  Restart your browser and click on the notification to set up Xmarks and start backing up and synchronizing your bookmarks. Install it on all your computers to have access to every bookmark at any time.

Additional features:

Xmarks has an icon that can be found in the location bar. When you are on a site and you click on the icon it provides a thumbnail of the top five sites (relative to your page) that others have bookmarked.

Xmarks also helps you pick the best Google results by highlighting sites that people have recently bookmarked. You can learn more about each site by hovering over the icon with your mouse.  This feature can also be turned on and off in the settings menu.

I am not sure how much I will use all of these features but they are pretty cool.  

Note:  This add on has an automatic sync feature that can be disabled if you want.  To do so go into settings and disable it.  If you do this you need to sync manually by going into tools,the Xmarks icon in the status bar, the button in the settings dialog, or via keyboard shortcut.
