Another web service that I’ve been a big fan of, Xmarks, is shutting down. I’ve been using the Xmarks Firefox extension to sync my bookmarks across computers, automatically. I like the fact that it keeps things synced up for me without me having to do much of anything, so now I’ll have to be on the lookout for another service that’s just as easy to use. Anyone got some suggestions?

We are seeing this a lot, and this situation is one that seems to be cropping up over and over again. “The ransomware attack encrypted electronic files at the Tuscaloosa, Northport and Fayette hospitals, forcing staff to use a manual paper system to track patient data.

Yet another reason you should not, repeat NOT, just plug in a USB drive that you find laying around! Only use ones that you, or someone you trust, has used to store data. Also, ones that your instructor gives you at training classes I teach should be safe too. I plug those into my laptop…

I’ve been at this blog for almost 19 years. Are you sure it’s still me writing these posts? Did I disappear and just leave it on autopilot to write posts for me long after I’m gone?
Are you sure you would know if I did?
Not everything is as it appears. We could all use a lot more skepticism, especially on topics we are already biased to believe.
Here’s an interesting theory from Daniel Taylor (Spotted via Adam Gaffin): I think of it like hot dogs. Nobody wants to know what goes inside a hot dog. And once you do, it’s kind of hard to get excited about eating one. That’s the way it is with mobile devices. There are gadget heads in…

thanks for the heads up. I like the power of syncing my bookmarks across firefox and safari. Now the search will be on. Hopefully there will be a suitable replacement.

Tony, Lastpass would be good for storing form data and passwords, but does it also sync bookmarks? It’s not clear that it does from their site. I may be giving Firefox Sync a try, though I did read that Firefox Sync is actually being integrated into Firefox 4, so you won’t need an add-on, it’ll be part of the browser. Of course, that doesn’t help with any other browsers, like Chrome.
