About Us

Foxmarks is a startup that goes beyond the Web 2.0 hype. The company is poised to turn search upside down by harnessing the collective intelligence of its users' bookmarks to help find desired web sites much more easily.

Founded by successful entrepreneur and angel investor Mitch Kapor and being developed by a top-notch engineering team led by Todd Agulnick, Foxmarks’ novel search approach goes leaps and bounds beyond simple page ranking and text indexing. By combining algorithmic search with community knowledge-sharing and the wisdom of crowds, Foxmarks connects users with the sites that are most useful and relevant.

Foxmarks delivers search results built on data collected from its initial product, the Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer. The popular Firefox extension, which is available in more than a dozen languages, allows users to automatically synchronize bookmarks on two or more computers, as well as access their favorite web pages on any computer, anytime.

Driven by positive user experience and spurred by Firefox 2.0 promotions, the Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer already has nearly a quarter million users with almost 100 million bookmarks. With a user base that is doubling every 90 days, Foxmarks expects to have over half a billion bookmarks as reference points in the near future.
