Looks like Xmarks, the popular cross-browser, cross-platform bookmark synchronization service, will be saved from extinction. The company, which announced late last month that it was folding the free service for lack of a viable business model, now says it has “multiple offers” to keep the operation running, as well as pledges from almost 30,000 fans willing to pay $10 to $20 a year. Next steps: Settling on a buyer and a freemium model.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
