Editor: PersonalLinks arose out of my own frustration with the Favorites menu of Internet Explorer. Don’t’ get me wrong here. Microsoft deserves praise for providing this capability within their browser and they’ve even provided various mechanisms for extending the capabilities of the browser beyond their own efforts in terms of add-ins. But it just didn’t do all that I wished it to do. Plus I felt that it would be even more useful if extended beyond storing URL’s to storing links to all sorts of items present in a Windows system.
Why not allow the links to be photographs? Executable programs? Text documents? …Why not allow them to be any sort of item that the operating system knows how to load or execute?
I felt that this sort of extension would allow a very wide variety of uses – from URL links to photographs. From chapters in a novel to developer source code, and so PersonalLinks was born.
