I just had a chance to upgrade to Bookmarking Demon 4.1 today and I’m happy to see that there is a lot of new stuff in this version. First of all, for existing Bookmarking Demon 4 users, upgrading is a snap. Just unzip the bmd4.1.zip file and replace the new file EdwinSoft.BookmarkingDemon.exe with your existing file. Once you’ve done that you’re good to go.
The first thing you’ll notice when launching Bookmarking Demon 4.1 are the newly added social bookmarking sites. Here is the full list sorted by PR:
- propeller.com PR 8 dofollow
- mister-wong.com PR 8 dofollow
- furl.net PR 7 dofollow
- spurl.net PR 6 dofollow
- delicious.com PR 6 nofollow
- bibsonomy.org PR 6 nofollow
- searchles.com PR 5 dofollow
- faves.com PR 5 dofollow
- bookmarktracker.com PR 5 dofollow
- co.mments.com PR 5 dofollow
- spotback.com PR 5 dofollow
- getboo.com PR 5 nofollow
- web2list.com PR 5 dofollow
- indianpad.com PR 5 dofollow
- syncone.net PR 4 dofollow
- diggup.co.uk PR 4 dofollow
- contentpop.com PR 4 dofollow
- blogmemes.com PR 4 dofollow
- a1-webmarks.com PR 4 nofollow
- bookmarksync.com PR 3 dofollow
As you can see, there are now a full 20 main bookmarking sites available for your use. Bookmarking Demon 4.1 also adds support for Pligg sites. For those who are not familiar with it, Pligg is an open source content management system (CMS) that allows you to create Digg style social voting sites. There are 12 Pligg sites included in this release and the ones I checked all had dofollow links and a Page Rank of 2 or 3. Scuttle, Scuttle Plus and Pligg sites are also now pingable in this release.
There are some minor changes to the UI. For example, in Expert Mode you can now choose not to use certain user accounts for bookmarking by dragging them into a separate area. This also works for specific pages you want to bookmark. This is especially handy if you’re using the built in website crawler on a site to gather pages to bookmark and you want to exclude certain pages.
Bookmarking Demon 4.1 is also a little smarter. The tool will now detect if you’ve already bookmarked a site using a particular account. It’s also smart enough to check if you’ve already created an account on a particular social bookmarking site.
One last thing Edwin has included with this release are some videos. There are now screencasts for pretty much every feature of Bookmarking Demon available on the main site. You can see them all here: http://bookmarkingdemon.com/trainingvideos.htm. If you’re looking to buy the program, check out the videos first to see how everything works.
I just checked the main site, and I was suprised to see that Bookmarking Demon 4 can still be bought for the original $97 price. There is a headline that says that they’re still having a “pre-launch special” before the “official launch”. I’m not sure when that will be, but make sure you pick up your copy of Bookmarking Demon before any price increase.
