First off I would like to say this is the portable version. There is no installation process. Instead you just extract the program folder to your destination choice. Open the folder and click Linkcollector.exe and you are off and running. You can see a few training videos here at this link...

The program received a favorable review from the Download.com editor and most user comments were good. Check them out here...

Considering how there is no install and therefore no changes made to your system, I can't see any harm in giving this a try. I have looked at it and am still trying to figure it out. if I like it great, if not I can just delete the folder. I think this is a wonderful opportunity to try a new program. Thank you GOTD team and VSC Software.

Thanks for yor comment but I usually assess any software here according to its features and output quality.

To do that I always use a FREE TOOL called TOOLWIZ TIME FREEZE, which enables me to test any software without making any change in the registry of my machine.

Then I compare the GAOTD real performance with that concerning FREEWARE alternatives and decide whether or not it's worth installing.

I believe you and everybody else here should do the same as well.

Besides that, if you are clever enough, it's also possible to make any programs (GAOTDs included) PORTABLE, using a FREE MAGIC tool called "ENIGMA VIRTUAL BOX" (just Google it)!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

As for today's giveaway I consider the current low users' rating pretty much LUDICROUS, since this tool does its dirty job (capturing, storing, managing and synchronizing links among all major browsers and between different PCs via an USB drive) flawlessly, enabling users to sync their bookmarks between their different browsers without being forced to use cloud-based bookmarks syncing tools, which are more likely to be hacked by unscrupulous hackers out there, compared to this portable software.

Besides that it's able to search for duplicates, check links for availability removing the non-existing ones.

So overall this GAOTD is a very good and handy tool, especially for geeks like me using multiple browsers on different PCs almost on a daily basis, and honestly there is no reason to give it a THUMBS DOWN, as 62% of people instead did so far, unless:
- you use a single browser (IE) and/or are a SAFARI user only (how many people use SAFARI here? 0.0001%?? LOL!!)
- you are using only a single browser (FIREFOX, CHROME, OPERA) on different PCs and want to sync bookmarks between them using their native.

In such 2 cases this GAOTD is totally useless!!

Please RATE any GAOTD offered here according to its features & real performance, instead of your personal needs, or everything will go to the dogs here.


- BEST FREE ALTERNATIVES (besides cloud-based bookmarks syncing tools like XMARKS and/or FaveKeeper)

Search for them on Softpedia, as I cannot post any download link today:

* Fav-Links
Cool lightweight and browser independent brand-new FREE bookmark manager (still in BETA stage) which helps you organize and sync your bookmarks in a very original way.
With this FREE tool you can create, rename, search, delete, backup and sync your favorites, bookmarks and categories using any browser with ease, as well as Open bookmarked websites in overlapped windows.
Supports sync to web, links archiving and visual view (all links and categories are associated with an image)

See also:

* PageNotes
* Portable Transmute
* CPPBookMark

To sync your bookmarks between your PC desktop and mobile devices, just have a look at these two FREE GEMS:

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/sync-google-chrome-bookmarks-android-device-chromemarks-lite (==> Google Chrome Bookmarks only)
http://arado.sourceforge.net

And finally if you are eager to backup & restore an entire profile folder (bookmarks, addons, cookies, passwords, security settings etc...) of pretty much any browsers available on the market, then look no further and download a FREE tool called "Hekasoft Backup & Restore" (just GOOGLE it)!!

So dudes let's keep syncronized wherever we are for FREE: sounds good? Of course it does...LOL!!

Enjoy!!

Tried the software, but does not understand how it operates. Tried viewing their tutorial as suggested by 4 (Dadam), but the image is so minute, and no audio that it is as good as nothing. It will surely help to promote interest in such software if they care to put a tutorial that is really instructive.
