Man, I'm gutted. I use Xmarks every day to sync from my work & windows machines (Firefox) to my MacBook (Safari) and thus to my iPhone / iPad. I'd have happily paid $5 a month or so to use Xmarks and I imagine I'm not alone.

It's really unfortunate that they won't even try the freemium, or (shock!) even the outright pay to play approach. I'm sure with two million users there would have been enough paying customers to create a profitable business.

With the hope that folks at Xmarks are reading this - I, too would pay for this service. I'm not sure I would pay $5 per month, but I don't think that, say $20 per year is unreasonable. (I prefer to pay by year - that's usually where the best discounts are).
