Which it actually is.
Bookmarksgather by the dozen each day and they gather dust just as quickly.
Today, a net internet ride likeFirefoxoffers tagging as a means to clean up bookmarks.
Subject specific folders have always existed to bunch similar bookmarks together.
But bad habits reign supreme and usually bookmarks end up in a haphazard array.
A lot of sites have their fifteen minutes of fame and then disappear.
But the bookmark is left behind like a gravestone marker.
A lot many sites update their favicons or change over to a new URL.
But the bookmark remains stuck as a misdirected pointer on the web highway.
The broom to clean up bookmarks and bring them up to date by eliminating the dead ones is calledAM-Deadlink.
The four internet tool bookmarks it helps sweep are ofInternet Explorer, Opera, MozillaandFirefox(FF ver.
3+ with an alternate method).
AM-Deadlinkdetects the dead links and duplicates, and marks them for removal.
It can also clean up duplicates in comma-separated and tab-limited text files and saved URL files.
Also, AM-Deadlink downloads the current favicons for all your Favorites and Bookmarks for the four browsers.
AM-Deadlink is a 1.3MB free download.
Its operation is fairly straightforward.
Let’s see it in action.
The alternate method involves using theExport HTMLfeature in Firefox’sBookmark Organizerand processing this HTML file through AM-Deadlink.
Now, it’s only left to us to pay those links an occasional visit.
AM-Deadlink(ver.3.3) is supported on Win9x/Me/NT4/2000/2003/XP/Vista.
