The development is going on. We are planning to launch the new version in 4-6 months. However, we will not be in a position to immediately offer the new version at discounted price on BitsDuJour, definitely.
Thanks :), for all your support.

So then buying at BDJ gives us only 4-6 month of usage. Then we need to pay another $20... considering that we don't know what new features will be in v. 8... it feels a bit of a bad deal to buy it now. I'd gladly pay twice in 6 months for a product that is worth it, but given the excellent freeware in this niche, v. 8 better be a major release...

No, buying at BDJ gives you as much usage as you want. Of course, if you want the spiffy new features, you pay the upgrade price, but your NoteZilla that you purchase today won't stop working... :huh:

BitsDuJour [...] a definite marketing fail or "own goal"-IainB (August 14, 2011, 04:44 PM)

Another, to my mind, was dropping the weekly e-mails, to stop you knowing in advance what deals were coming up. They seem to want you hitting their site every day, which doesn't work for me. I'm not online every day. Since dropping the BdJ e-mail, my credit card bill has been much more manageable :) However, I just tried resubscribing, as they say they've amended the daily e-mails to give some forward details. I wanted to see how useful (or dangerous to my wallet) that was, but haven't seen any come through yet.
N.B.: in the BdJ item on Notezilla, conceptworld point out that the deal is applicable to the portable version too. I realise that then one can run it from multiple PCs, but I think it's pretty expensive. After all, you aren't going to use it from multiple PCs simultaneously. Also, and I haven't checked Notezilla's license on this, I don't care for portable licenses that restrict you to a single USB stick. It's not that I'm likely to actually use more than one at a time, but I like to have a ready-to-go back up.

^ Not sure why you haven't received it yet. And no, I'm not being a "white hat" for the site, I just appreciate what they do, and want them to keep doing it so try to help people around problems. :)

"Linkman is by far the best solution we've tried for keeping your bookmarks safe and up to date." -- CNET Editorial Review
Links, links, links. They're how we organize the internet, and for many of us, how we organize our lives. But how do we organize our links? How do we turn that rat's nest of hundreds, thousands, even tens-of-thousands of URLs into something useful, intuitive, and (most importantly) cross-browser?
With Linkman, of course!
Linkman -- short for Link Manager -- is a complete bookmark management solution that can efficiently organize and check large amounts of links and effectively replace your browser's native URL management system.
But best of all, Linkman offers uniform access across all of your browsers. Linkman allows you to install Firefox 3-5, IE 7-9, Chrome (all versions) and Opera 11 addons as optional components. No other bookmark manager features such comprehensive browser support. Not even close! Only Linkman ensures that all of your links will be readily accessible no matter which browser you're using at that particular moment!
But what about those nasty little 404 errors? After all, the internet changes over time, and a good link today might very well be a broken link tomorrow. Linkman includes powerful bookmark validation features that continually scan your link database for dead links, page movements, and even content changes!
And Linkman is fast, no matter how many links you've got stored away. Just start typing a keyword and get results within a second, even with link databases in the millions! In addition, Linkman allows you to combine wildcards and operators (AND, AND NOT, OR, "-") in your searches, and to utilize a powerful Search and Replace feature.
With secure password protection features, the ability to export and print out functional link reports, the option to install Linkman on a portable USB stick, and even the ability to sync databases between multiple computers, it's hard to think of anything Linkman can't do when it comes to bookmarks.
If you use bookmarks on a regular basis for work, play, or just plain living, you owe it to yourself to check out Linkman!
Version Alert: Linkman 8.0 offers up-to-date browser compatibility and fully supports the latest versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Opera.

Cacheman 7.10 (2 Computer License) for PC - 62% off Today Only

Deal Price:
$14.99

Check this out folks -- Cacheman was literally THE FIRST Windows performance optimization software. Ever! Millions of Windows power-users have been utilizing it since 1997 to keep their PCs running as smooth as silk. How's that for pedigree!
We've all been there. The more applications you install and run, the slower and buggier your computer gets over time. Mildly annoying at first, this gradual degeneration can become a serious time suck and eventually even require the purchase of a new computer. Not a fun situation!
Many of these performance issues are the result of inefficient, confused memory and process management by Windows. And this is where Cacheman steps in. Cacheman is specifically designed to enhance computer speed and stability by optimizing caches, managing memory, and fine-tuning system settings.
And by golly, it works! Just a few minutes with Cacheman and you'll experience noticeable performance increases across the board!
For power-users and experienced tweakers, Cacheman offers an unprecedented level of control over memory and system functions. Got a memory leak? Use Cacheman to minimize the damage by specifying a maximum usage for the leaking application. Want to allocate more CPU juice to some applications and less to others? Use Cacheman to set permanent process priorities so that your important applications will always have enough resources for optimum performance!
And for those wishing to continually monitor their system processes, Cacheman offers up to five fully-customizable system tray icons that provide relevant information at a glance. Besides being able to specify which information is displayed, you can change the type (graph, block, number) and even the colors!
Cacheman is clearly ideal for the power-user, but the developers haven't forgotten about those of us who aren't quite as technically-inclined. Cacheman offers novices a fantastically-simple One-Click Auto-Optimize tool that examines your system and automatically applies the best settings and system tweaks in order to improve performance and stability. You can even optimize your computer for specific tasks by selecting individual Auto-Optimization profiles like Gaming Computer or Notebook | Netbook.
And for your peace of mind, Cacheman features an advanced backup feature that allows you to revert any of your tweaks with a single click!
Why waste another second on system lag? Give Cacheman a try today and experience that new-computer feeling all over again!

Perhaps because I'd unsubscribed? But I'd have thought their system should be able to cope with re-subscription.

I really didn't like them dropping the weekly e-mail, and still can't understand why they insist on daily ones. When I saw something I wanted, I planned to go online on that day, and clicked through to the deal from their site, as the only way to get the deal anyway. Can't see their problem.

Thanks! I see, though, they give very little genuine warning. Nearly everything is "coming soon."
Still, a few interesting things are "coming soon." I recently downloaded the latest version of AllMyNotes Organizer (bought my license when a discount was offered here on DC), and it's getting closer to being a competent Web clipper.
