XMarks is going down. I see that there are alternatives, but according to the Wikipedia comparison page, so far none of these seems to support sync profiles, which allow me to sync only certain bookmarks to certain machines. To me this was one of the highlights of XMarks.

Anyone know a solution which supports sync profiles?

Our family uses Firefox, on Windows and Ubuntu. The most important point for us is syncing bookmarks, although addon sync would not hurt either.

How do you mean by "profiles" ? If it's just across Firefox then Firefox sync is the way to go. – Sathya♦ Oct 1 '10 at 15:38
@Sathya, my first link above points to that same question you refer to. And no, this is not a duplicate of that one, because I am asking specifically for a solution capable of handling sync profiles. In brief, it means that all my bookmarks are synced, but I can have bookmarks which are replicated only on my home machine, while others only on my work machine. – Péter Török Oct 1 '10 at 18:56
you're right, I've removed my comment, my close vote still remains, though it should age off in couple of days – Sathya♦ Oct 2 '10 at 4:15
I'd very much like an answer to this as well, even though XMarks is probably not dead. Alternatives are good. – Michael Ekstrand Dec 20 '10 at 15:33

Looks like there may be life in Xmarks after all - here's hoping: Xmarks blog

If you're that desperate to save XMarks, perhaps participate in the pledge, build your own xmarks server, stuff like that.

I wouldn't say I am desperate to save XMarks - I am primarily interested in a solution, not in a brand :-) – Péter Török Oct 2 '10 at 11:47
