Best Bookmark Manager

August 31, 2009

Bookmarks are really useful to keep tabs on websites you come across while doing research, for example.

Unfortunately the bookmark management functionality of all major web browsers is below par. Add to that the fact that the bookmarks are locked in one browser on one machine and the lack of flexibility will drive you nuts.

This has been a pain point for me for quite some time now. So after searching the web far and wide for proper third party bookmark management solutions I concluded the best thing was to develop a proper bookmark manager from scratch.

How about a bookmark manager that is portable, i.e. can be used from a USB / thumb / pen drive, browser independent, does not constrain the user to use hierarchical folders but instead supports labels, has blazingly fast search, and can be accessed and bookmarks added with global hotkeys. Of course, standard features like import from all major web browsers are supported as well.

And why stop there? How many times daily do you have to double-click multiple times in Windows Explorer to open a particular folder? How many times daily do you navigate folders to open a document or project your are currently working on?

So on top of all the features I mentioned above I added support for bookmarking local files, folders, and applications on your computer for quick and easy access. Just drag and drop your frequently used files and folders to create a handy bookmark.

All of this functionality is part of the new FruitfulTime product named BookmarkManager.

You can say you first heard about FruitfulTime BookmarkManager here :)
