I love Xmarks for its ability to sync across many different browsers and I was hoping soon to be able to view my Firefox Passwords on my iPhone.
I also love to be able to find out fast what other good websites exist in a particular category that is how I found out about ted.com and many other awesome websites :-)
Xmarks is the first plug-in I install on every machine its just a MUST HAVE service.
If 10,000 people sign this pledge Xmarks could get 100,000 $ right away and 100,000 $ every year should probably at least keep the service running and if more people join in it could become a profitable business. So if you love Xmarks as much as we do and its worth some money to you; join the pledge for Xmarks to become some sort of subscription service.

Getting this service/feature for free has been an incredible deal. But it is easily worth $10/year!
