URL Bunch Review
What does this tool do: Generates a single URL to replace a list of many links.
Cost: Free
Who Needs It: Online researchers.
Info Page: http://www.urlbunch.com/
Comments:
Some tools may be rarely used yet very handy when needed. If you frequently prepare lists of links for research purposes, you’ll find URL Bunch helpful. You can prepare bunches of related links and then store the entire list under a single link. Clicking that link will allow you to view or even load them all simultaneously. Save a single page (on your local computer) that lists your master links, and then you can recall, embed the single links in your documents, or email the links as needed.
