Just because you don't trust your data to the cloud doesn't mean you
want to miss out on handy services like bookmark synchronization.
XMarks has just released a beta version of its Firefox addon that allows
users to sync their data to a private WebDAV or FTP server. The BYOS
version never communicates with XMarks' servers - except when opening
the "what's new" splash screen in a new tab following an update.
Since it's not talking to the XMarks servers, that also means you won't
be able to use the discovery features of the regular version.
This certainly isn't the first addon to provide this functionality -
Bookmark Sync and Sort started doing it in 2006 (though it's no longer
developed), and SyncPlaces does it as well.
If you're already using XMarks, however, and just want to move your
bookmarks to your own servers, their new addon is probably the way to go.
Go there...
