XMARKS LIVES

Just in time for Halloween, popular browser syncing service Xmarks has risen from the grave like a zombie looking for brains.  Citing the power of the people Xmarks has received "numerous" offers to keep its service up and running.  In addition over 35,000 users have pledged to pay between $10 and $20 per year for the use of the service.  Xmarks explains:

The 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!


Power to the people!!! [BGR]
