"The best link manager out there"
Version: Linkman Lite 8.32
Pros
Very stable; Addons for all browsers; clean interface, fast even with my 20.000 links.
Cons
Has more than 100 functions, so it takes time to get an overview.

"Was not able to do the one thing I wanted it to do"
Version: Linkman Lite 8.31
Pros
Zero, Nadda, Zip, Bupkiss, Zilch, nothing worth while here.
Cons
Confusing, hard to use, crappy interface and I would have to pay for the one feature that I downloaded it for. Link validation.
If the download wasn't worth it, why would I pay for this?Summary
Still looking for that easy to use software with link validation.

None at all.

Summary
Slowed my Firefox 7 to a crawl and even caused it to freeze up. I had to use Task Manager to terminate (kill) Linkman Lite 8.30. I removed Linkman Lite 8.30 and Firefox functioned normally, again!

"Excellent, Stable, High Learning Curve"
Version: Linkman Lite 7.9.0.73
Pros
This is the only program I've found that can do a good job of organizing links on my own computer. I can use any browser and keep all my links on my computer and use them on multiple computers. It is very stable on Win 7, Has lots of options.
Cons
It is a little intimidating at first. It has a lot of options which gives it a steeper than normal learning curve. I almost didn't take the time to learn it, but I'm glad I did because it does an excellent job.
Summary
At first it was a bit confusing to use. I was looking for a simple replacement for the browser based bookmarks and favorites, one that I could use with all my browsers and keep all my bookmarks on my computer, not in the frigin cloud. It has so many options, and the simple tree view that I am used to was difficult to find. I did find it though. I had to read the manual to figure out how to use the thing, but I'm glad I took the time to do it, because unlike some of its competitors, it is very stable, (I'm using Windows 7), and once you figure out how to use it, the many options it has are actually quite useful.
The one drawback in the free version is the fact that you cannot sync your Chrome bookmarks. You can import them from a file, but they loose their folder structures, (all the links are imported in one long list, instead of inside their folders). There is a way around this though. What I did was import all my bookmarks and favorites from all my different browsers into IE Explorer. Now my IE Explorer had a copy of all my bookmarks from all my different browsers. I then made only one import of my IE Favorites into Linkman Lite. I then organized all my bookmarks in Linkman the way I wanted them. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, and it is fast, stable, and very useful. -
"V.7.9.0.28 - Best available standalone Bookmark Manager"
Version: Linkman Lite 7.8.0.12
Pros
Most popular browsers supported (including K-meleon)
Tree View and Keywords support
Two databases handling simultaneously
Features rich
Awesome interface (for experienced user)
IE & Firefox integration
Lightning fast queries
SynchronizationCons
Not the most "easy" interface for basic users
Summary
I've found Linkman a couple of months ago, and quickly has become my favorite bookmark manager.
It has a very attractive and functional interface, although it's not recommended for novice users.
It's the perfect solution for people who work with different browsers. We can consolidate all bookmarks in one place, specifically designed for handling them.
I prefer standalone (local program) over online bookmark managing. It has many advantages like speed, offline access and security.
With Linkman Lite I can see my bookmarks in the Tree View pane, and at the same time perform a query in the right pane, and interact between them (drag & drop).
Capturing URLs from different browsers is really easy and straight forward. Linkman integrates with IE and Firefox giving us an even better way of doing things.
You can also load two databases at the same time and work with them copying or moving bookmarks between them, and even synchronize both databases.
Linkman Lite has Keywords, but you have to manage them individually (for each URL). The paid version has much better support for keywords.
With the paid version you can also (from their site):
* Synchronization support to share links between multiple computers
* Keyword List window
* Add Keywords to selected items function
* Ability to check URLs for dead links, intelligent (only major) content changes, and page movements
* Add all URLs on this webpage function
* Replace feature
* Retrieve user defined URL meta tags
* Editable Export Templates (XML, TSV...) with UTF8 support
* Query results can be exported using Templates
* Optional installation on USB sticks for mobile usage
* Support via Email (linkmanpro@outertech.com)
Overall, Linkman IMHO is the best available standalone bookmark manager in the market. And if you can live without the extra features offered in the paid version, Linkman Lite is Free.
