Formerly known as FoxMarks, this service is really cool. My favorite feature is the Smarter Search. Take a quick look at how this integrates into Google – Learn more about top sites right on Google

Xmarks will highlight the three top sites in your Google results based on how many people have bookmarked them. smarter_search2
Simply move your mouse over the site info icon to learn more about that site. Xmarks shows you bookmark popularity, average review, related topics and more.
