Install and activate with no problem on WinXP SP3.

LinkCollector basically work as expected but its functionality is seriously crippled on my system because it lacks Unicode support! I have many bookmarks that's in Chinese and Japanese, all of these bookmarks are being shown as "??????????".

Worse, copy and paste any non-English bookmark resulted in "unable to create bookmark" error. Further, you cannot manipulate your bookmarks within LC while your browser is open.

I also question whether the verify function actually works -- it doesn't seem to detect the fake URL I putted in ... hmm ...

As I am a Firefox user, I have a nice addon called foxmarks which synchronises already my bookmarks between my home PC, office PC and laptop. Runs automatically at the background.

Might be handy this one if you use multiple browsers, but will pass for this one. One feature it has (which foxmarks doesn't have) is it looks for dead links.

Anyhow, I gave it a thumb up because its extremely handy to be able to synchronize all bookmarks on your different PC's without doing much effort.

GiveAwayOfTheDay have given us so many wonderful software, I'm real scared of a Hard Disk crash - for, none of the utilities I've got accustomed to would work!!!

This one appears to be real useful - installed without a peep and started up in under a minute, with my Favorites under Firefox, IE, Opera and Chrome in a neat, tabbed interface. I especially like the option to check (and delete) dead favorites!

While LinkCollector DEFINITELY gets my Thumbs Up, I would like to see it work with Apple Safari for Windows, Maxthon and CometBird at the very least - Flock, SeaMonkey, Avant and the now-dead Netscape Navigator aren't significant Browsers after all, as of today...

Hi Folks,

Heavy bookmark users tend to prefer a 'keyword' or tagging method (a lot of the keywords come from the metatags when the bookmark is entered) of organizing rather than a folder method. By working this way I even combine bookmarks with PIM.

Powermarks pioneered this approach years ago, however it is at end-of-life, development ended. Linkman from Outertech is now the leader and a couple of others are worth consideration. This is discussed in some detail on some DonationCoder threads.

Very little written about this program. For those struggling with multi-bookmarks from IE and Firefox and Opera, this program can probably fit the bill - if you work in the old style. Maybe some reviewers will compare with Bookmark Buddy and the other dozen. There probably is not many good freeware programs that keep up-to-date with the programs (e.g. when Firefox updated to 3.0 bookmark programs had to change their capture-info method).

At least LinkCollector looks to be a solid, no-nonsense GAOTD on a software category that is very important and is helpful, not harmful.

Shalom,
Steven
