This is a fine example of good shareware. It's designed with a specific purpose, and deals with that very well. It does more than just sort the bookmarks too, it deals with duplicates, and also validates all your URLs too. Far more than a simple script.

To the poor review further down, why would you expect shareware to work 100%. Some may do, but it's quite reasonable for an author to protect his hard work.

This app is well worth the price (especially better in the UK), and it seems to be well supported.

Bookdog does more than just bark - brianjansorge

I didn't realize just how many bookmarks I have until I used the trial version.

Try it. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

I bought it. I'm almost obsessive-compulsive about keeping things orgainzed (and up-to-date), so I appreciate Bookdog's many features.

I found out I had almost 2,000 bookmarks. Some I visit frequently, others, not so often. With Bookdog's help, now I know that when I do go to a URL, it will "be there."

Somebody posted a comment about "overkill." That's a matter of opinion. When all you do is go to a site or two each session (perhaps a portal like Yahoo, Google or, heaven forbid, AOL) and simply "click" on links to stuff you'll never visit again (specifically), then it might not be for you.

Or, as another example, if most of your "weblife" is chatting or downloading from your favorite P2P site, then you probably don't do a lot of bookmarking.

Others---like myself, who do mostly research, business, and other stuff when spending precious time on the net---will really appreciate software like this.

Don't like it? Then don't buy it.
