Bookmark Thing
Bookmark Thing is no longer under active development, and at the moment there are no plans to make a MacOS X version. The current version is 1.0.
Bookmark Thing is a bookmark assistant that stores each bookmark in a seperate file, allowing you to uses the Finder and Apple Menu to organize, sort, search and launch them.
It was designed with the following principles in mind:
- I don't want yet another application for managing hierarchical collections of things - I've already got something called the Finder, which works quite nicely thank you very much.
- I don't want all my bookmarks linked to any particular application - today I'm using IE4 and Anarchie; a while ago, it was Netscape and Fetch; tomorrow, who knows...
Bookmark Thing can "adopt" bookmarks from Internet Explorer, Netscape, CyberFinder, Fetch, Anarchie, AOL and MacOS 8.5. It can also extract a set of bookmarks from any html document.
