Software Giveaway of the Day -- Service of the Month
For those feeling the economic pinch and having curtailed their expenditures to
deal with the situation, this month's freeware may be a pleasant diversion -- an
ongoing daily giveaway of a wide range of software products. Gentle Subscribers
may
enjoy checking out the offerings to see if anything looks useful for their
particular interests and computer activities.
"Giveaway of the day project, the new initiative in the software distribution
world! Every day we offer for free licensed software you'd have to buy
otherwise!
.. Giveaway of the day is a win-win solution for both publishers and clients ...
The idea behind this initiative is that many sites and publishers offer trial
downloads; but only we offer giveaway downloads. What does that mean?Basically,
every day we nominate one software title that will be a Giveaway title of that
day.
The software will be available for download for 24 hours (or more, if agreed by
software publisher) and that software will be absolutely free. That means - not
a
trial, not a limited version - but a registered and legal version of the
software
will be free for our visitors." - from the website
The site maintains an archive of programs that were previously offered, which
gives
some indication of the kinds of applications that turn up at the site as
freebies.
Recent offerings include an audio editor, a DVD disk, box and ebook label
program,
and a group activity management application. One of the notable elements of the
site is the no-holds-barred commentary on each program from those who frequent
the
site, along with an ongoing tally of how many found the application worthwhile
and
the number who gave it a thumbs down. Those considering jumping onto these
software
giveaways might plan on using a dependable monitoring/uninstall program to
facilitate the complete removal of any application which does not live up to its
billing.
