I used to use XMarks to sync bookmarks across browsers, but it didn't sync custom search engines and it didn't support all the browsers and OSes I used.  superboyac convinced me to use Linkman for all my regular bookmarks (the free license through DonationCoder helped too), leaving only the custom searches that wouldn't sync.  I looked for a service like yubnub.org that could be personalized, but never found one.  My temporary solution became more and more useful so I decided to start making it into a real service.

Wow. Ok, this looks excellent. I'm doing a lot of travelling as of March, and I think this would be a really sweet way to keep bookmarks in sync without, well, syncing.

Ain't DC grand?
