Link Dragon is a simple, useful tool for heavy internet surfers who move from PC to PC during their work - and ideal for library users too. Link Dragon is a Web based bookmark utility - it will store all your bookmarks in a free account on the web so that they can be used wherever you are working. It is a Java based applet (so it can be used offline) with a Windows Explorer look and feel. Useful tools to import and categorise links by folder and colour category, to e-mail them etc. make this one of the most useful, well designed utilities I have seen. 
For library users, it means that each itinerant user can keep a set of bookmarks on the
web for their personal use - without compromising library security or involving any locally hosted 3rd party applications.
One upcoming additional feature could be a real boon for AOL users - an import utility for AOL favorites and an export facility to push
their links to a standard HTML web page and from there to their own computer. This will enable AOL users to be able to move their links via Link Dragon to another browser - something that is
not easy to do and which prevents many an AOL user from moving to another ISP.
There are many other nice touches in Link Dragon - an e-mailer to send links to co-workers, a
recycle bin for accidentally deleted links, the window can be resized as large as you like, and you can set the date format to US or European style - thoughtful.
