Press Releases:
Tuesday, 1 June 2004 – For immediate
release.
The Smartest Bookmark Manager just got smarter…
Dmitry Skorniakov, developer of the highly
successful Internet Organizer "Check&Get"
today announced the release of a re-developed
and even more powerful version of this
easy to use but
powerful internet organizing and web-monitoring
software, Check&Get
2.0 is certain to delight those
who have used the previous
version and is sure to attract a host of
new users.
Check&Get automatically checks content
on web-pages specified by the user. Simply
give Chec&Get a list of your favourite
web-sites and the software will check these
on a pre-determined time schedule looking for
changes – as changes are discovered,
Check&Get retrivies the pages and highlights
the changed content. Skorniakov pointed out: “One
of the major benefits of this program is time
saving – Why visit a web-page if it has
not changed? – This task is totally automated
with Check&Get meaning our customers are
always aware of new content”
The newly released Check&Get
2.0 has been almost totally re-written
based on user feedback
and market research to produce a ‘best
of breed’ product which delivers
greater efficiency, exciting new features
and usability.
Check&Get 2.0 is not a simple upgrade – it
is a powerful new program built on the experiences
and feedback gained from some of the thousands
of satisfied users of the previous version. Skorniakov
says “The original Check&Get program
was very successful and we received a great deal
of useful feedback from our customers. A beta
version of the new product, code named ‘Bookmark
Explorer’ was developed after listening
to our customer’s comments and has been
beta tested for nearly a year by new customers
as well as users of the earlier Check&Get
program. During this time we have refined the
program to its current format and we are pleased
to now announce the formal release of Check&Get
2.0”.
The user interface of the new program is
more intuitive and easy to use, offers
greater efficiency
and more features than it’s predecessor.
Check&Get 2.0 retains the important and
unique features that made the previous version
so successful and delivers the following important
features:
-
Hit highlighting of changed content remains as
an important feature allowing changed content
in web pages to be easily identified – Users
can see at a glance what new content
has changed or been added to a web page;
-
Users have the convenience of choosing multiple
types of alert when content changes; You can
select to have an email sent with a copy of the
changed web page including hit-highlighting,
select to have a ‘pop-up’ alert display
on your screen or play a sound file – either
choice will ensure users are always aware
of changes to their favourite web pages
-
New customisable ‘skins’ feature
allows users to choose different schemes for
the user interface making Check&Get
2.0 fun to use
-
Check&Get 2.0 provides an ‘internal
browser’ allowing you to view visited
pages even when you are not connected
to the Internet.
-
An auto saving feature provides ‘Snapshots’ of
previous versions of web pages allowing users
to compare historical versions of a web page – Not
only can you now see what has changed
but your can refer back to the original
version;
- Extended bookmark and web-page
searching capabilities, allows you to search
your bookmarks by common
fields (name, description, keywords)
and also make full-text searches of web-page
content;
-
The new extended URL import capability of Check&Get
2.0 allows you to import links directly
from a browser window, HTML or text file
or even
from office documents (in fact from any
file even
if the file has the unknown or binary
format);
- Enhanced bookmark import / export
/ synchronization features. The most popular
browsers are supported:
Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Opera,
Netscape;
-
Powerful "Duplicate URL Cleaner" Wizard
means that you can ‘clean’ duplicate
URL’s instantly, keeping your bookmark
collection clean and efficient;
- Ability to maintain unlimited number
of different bookmark collections;
In addition, Check&Get 2.0 stores all
the bookmarks and web-content in a single-file
database, which makes back up or data transfer
to CD or
another computer a breeze. See the full
feature
list here.
The working project known as ‘Bookmark
Explorer’ is now withdrawn and replaced
by Check&Get 2.0. Skorniakov said today: “Many
of our customers who used the earlier version
of Check&Get upgraded to the beta version
of Bookmark Explorer and assisted us to build
and refine the program into the formal release
version ‘Check&Get 2.0’; Following
almost a year of trials we are confident that
Check&Get 2.0 will delight our current
customers upgrading from previous versions and
new users alike”.
All customers who registered Bookmark Explorer
during the beta-stage are entitled to lifetime
free update of Check&Get 2.0 - Professional
Edition. Skorniakov was quick to point out the
valuable contribution made by users in the beta
phase: “We received a lot of valuable feedback
from our customers. Their feedback and suggestions
have assisted in us being able to deliver a best
of breed product and we are very appreciative
of their input. Our view is that end users are
the best people to advise on product development – We
have listened to their comments and Check&Get
2.0 is the result”
Following the launch of Check&Get 2.0,
the Check&Get 1.xx product line has been
withdrawn. Limited technical support for the
current Check&Get 1.xx customers will be
provided, but there will be no further enhancements
or upgrades. Skorniakov recommends registered
customers of Check&Get v1.xx upgrade their
software to the more advanced and significantly
improved version 2.xx. - Current customers of
Check&Get v1.xx are entitled to a 40% discount
when registering/upgrading to Check&Get
v2.xx. The original version of Check&Get has been
around for nearly five years and proved to be
immensely popular, in that time, registered users
were entitled to free upgrades for 6 months.
Despite the 6-month offer for upgrades we provided
free upgrades over the entire life of the product.
The decision to now charge an upgrade fee for
registered users of ChecK&Get V1.XXX to the
new version is a sound one; The new version should
not be considered and ‘upgrade’ as
it is a totally new program. Skorniakov says “A
significant amount of time and expense has been
made to create the new Check&Get 2.0, it
has been almost totally re-written and provides
significant new features and benefits, we feel
this justifies the small upgrade fee. We are
offering our customers a significant discount
should they choose to upgrade to the new program”.
Skorniakov went on to say, “We are sure
that our customers will be pleased with the huge
enhancements and new features of Check&Get
2.0 and we are confident of attracting many new
customers. Check&Get 2.0 will deliver significant
time savings and more enjoyment for avid Internet
users and we look forward to serving our customers
for many years to come”.
