X marks the fox

A while back, I extolled the virtues of the Foxmarks bookmarking add-on for Firefox, which syncs all your bookmarks across all your computers. It's a great tool, and works brilliantly.

As of yesterday, Foxmarks got a major overhaul as well as a new name - Xmarks (I guess due to the fact that it is no longer Firefox-specific). It now has a very clever address bar icon which, when you click it, tells you all about other similar sites that fellow Xmarks users have bookmarked in addition to the previous bookmark sync functionality.

I love it - and I'd be stumped without it. If you need something to keep your online life in check, it's highly recommended.

Download gMail Mobile app v2.0 for Nokia/Symbian

If, like me, you've been wrestling with your Nokia Symbian S60 smartphone trying to get it to download the new gMail Mobile 2.0 app via your phone's browser (which is a well-documented issue), I'd suggest heading here and downloading it straight to your computer instead. Then you can bluetooth or sync it to your phone directly and Robert's your mother's brother. For some reason Google doesn't want you to do it like this, but it's so much quicker and easier than doing it the "proper" way.

And whilst I'm dispensing advice, I've just discovered Foxmarks, a Firefox add-on which keeps your bookmarks synced across multiple machines. Just what I've been looking for! And if you want to try it out, they've just released betas for Internet Explorer (why would you be using that?!) and Safari too.
