More Information Displayed

We recently added a few more display fields for each program: Install Support, System Requirements, Expire Info, as well as Recent Changes. We believe that this information may be relevant for you before you download.

Better Search Options

Now, our regular search feature has a "Best Match" feature, which will order the results by matching strength. This uses a FULLTEXT database search that allows boolean instructions as you find on the more powerful internet search engines. searching for exactly what you are looking for just got easier. The new search interface allows you to specify Category. Beyond that, the search form got a bit smarter - only fill in the fields that you need to use.


Save the planet - it's action time!

I have considered myself "green" for a long time, but I couldn't resist watching a YouTube video called "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See". Greg Craven is a Physics teacher and he's been making a lot of videos based on his risk management perspective of the question of whether or not man needs to act to reverse the impacts of man on the environment. He thinks a lot like me, but his videos are very professional - it reminds me of Bill Nye (another great environmentalist).

As the creator of BetterWindowsSoftware, I have created what I think to be a more useful website called YouSaveThePlanet. YouSaveThePlanet pays it's members to write articles about what they are doing to save the planet. With the philosophy that every drip adds to the growing ocean of voices, the blogs at YouSaveThePlanet are growing quickly.

June21st- 2008Longer "OS" (Operating System) values stored - Over 1,000 listings had a truncated value for "OS". These values have been updated to display up to 255 characters. We've also added a glyph to indicate which programs run on "Vista".

June19th- 2008Friendly URLs introduced - It took a little while to test many of the changes, but it is now online. URLs are more "friendly", but longer. Who types in URLs anymore anyway? The previous URLs will still work, but they are redirected to the new friendly URL. You know by looking at the URL what should be on that page. For example, "products-107111.html" is now "Lookup-Reverse-Phone-Number-Communications-Other-Comms-Tools-freeware-107111.html".

February15th- 2008Age verification system is coming withing a couple days. This is not so great news for the youngsters, but we believe in providing a trusted service for our internet users.

We could use your help with respect to the ongoing effort to keep the content ratings accurate -- since our scan may not correctly tag all items as "Mature content" that should be tagged or even falsely tag a few innocent listings as "Mature content"; please submit a quick and easy "Issue Report" for that listing to help us correct those listings.
