This SUCKS!

So, I just got the following bulk email from Xmarks:
Dear Xmarks User,

It pisses me off. I've been using Xmarks for YEARS to sync my bookmarks across multiple computers and multiple browsers. I am kind of hoping that Google come to the rescue and buy out this company and add its functionality to the Google suite of services. I know there are probably other services available but at the moment I don't know what they are. In my mind Xmarks was the best and worked beautifully, so much so that I rely on it daily. DAILY.

I guess I need to find an alternative although I'm hoping for a white knight....
