After weeks of speculation, bookmarking service Xmarks announced today that it has been acquired by cross-platform password manager LastPass. For how much, we still don't know, but the announcement culminates a tumultuous three months for the much-loved but beleaguered bookmark synching service.

In September the buzz was that Xmarks was closing up shop. In October, chief executive James Joaquin assured us that it wasn't; in fact, it was being courted by multiple suitors. And just last month Xmarks said that it found a buyer, who remained anonymous until now.
