Dear Xmarks User,
We've always said we won't email you unless it's important; this is one of those occasions:
Xmarks will be shutting down our free browser synchronization services on January 10, 2011. For details on how to transition to recommended alternatives, consult this page. http://www.xmarks.com/about/shutdown
For the full story behind the Xmarks shutdown, please read our blog post. http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=1886

The blog has over 300+ comments in just 5 hours. This means that as people wake up and have their first coffee while checking their e-mails or quickly sending one or two, we all find this disappointing news.
Yes, I will pay a fee for this great service.

Everything about Mozilla Firefox is FREE, I understand that giving a great service for free for so long under these bad economic times could be difficult to sustain. SO MANY people LOVE this service And would PAY for it!
