GiveawayOfTheDay now has a freeware section
« on: January 09, 2007, 03:34 AM »
Happy New Year!

Here goes our present for you, dear visitors and members of Giveaway of the Day!
Today we launched a new project at giveawayoftheday.com: freeware library. We worked hard to make it handy and also to filter out all that disgusting adware/spyware that some developers call “free”.

This project seems to be a good addition to our site: missed some cool giveaway? Check out similar free software in our library using convenient tags. Don’t think today’s giveaway is useful for you? That’s sad, but check out today’s freeware updates, maybe you`ll like some of them?

Also I guess lots of freeware geeks we know for their comments (;-)) will try this toy to compare our giveaways and similar freeware stuff.


And they are accepting PAD files for freeware, if you have anything you would like to submit.

Freeware library is here:  http://www.giveawayo...theday.com/freeware/

and if you would like to leave and/or read any comments about this, you can do that here: http://blog.giveaway...library-is-launched/

There is a discussion in the comments about some of the stuff in their freeware library being bundled with spyware by the original developers of the programs offered (the GiveAwayOfTheDay people didn't do it).

You might want to read the comments on that page before you download anything, and be careful. If you spot something not so nice, be sure to comment there and let them know about it so they can investigate and get the crapware off their site.

The site is a bit confusing IMHO but surely has potential. I like their Tags/Hot Tags idea!
