Tame your bookmarks - 7/19/2007 16:56:02
How many bookmarked sites do you have? Duplicate links? Any broken links? Are they all pointing to what you originally bookmarked? I've got rather a lot of bookmarks (1471, I discovered this afternoon) and it would take me quite some time to manually check them all.
Step up, AM-Deadlink. A very nice little app that once pointed at your bookmark file will test all your bookmarks for you to check they're still live, download the site's favicon if it has one, and help you weed out duplicate links, and generally get your bookmarks in order. There's a nice tutorial on it, complete with screenshots on TechRepublic which explains the process, step by step.
I use the Foxmarks Firefox extension to keep my bookmarks syncronised between my laptop and my PC (which also means that thanks to Foxmarks I can also access my entire bookmark list from any PC with an internet connection), and now I can keep them all nice and neat and tidy as well! I am indeed a happy bunny.
(Btw, my bookmark list's now down to 1371 after I weeded out the dead links and duplicates )
