Bookmash – The bookmarking, downloading, and organisational all in one software.
Bookmash is a program that allows you to view, download and store films, mp3s and pictures from some of the web’s favourite sources. This program is similar to others reviewed here on Crenk such as Vuze only it supports song and pictures as well.
The program allows you to browse pictures on Flickr, videos on YouTube and a host of other websites such as Metacafe and Last fm. You can then choose to download these songs onto your computer using the easy interface and controls.
It beats using outdated programs whereby entering every specific URL and details were required. Now, Bookmash does all the work for you.
It can also be synced with your existing preferences such as Downloading RSS feeds like podcasts or news and can be linked in with Digg, the popular bookmarking tool.
Upon getting the program myself for the purpose of this review, I was downloading videos and pictures that were all optimised in the search results to meet my demands, unlike other similar programs that just throw dozens of results at you 1% related to your search-phrase
However, there are some draw backs. At first, there is a learning curve that one needs to overcome. This is mainly due to the amount of options you have which is a blessing in disguise.
Version 0.21 added a welcome page which is handy for getting the ball rolling, but more intriguingly it introduced Bookmash to the world stage by giving the user the ability to choose from 13 different international languages.
All in all a good piece of kit that allows you to have everything in the one place. Not essential but useful for those who enjoy organisation to the extreme.
