    Bonjour

    As we all know links can sometimes be broken. Is there a tool ar a way of checking if links of my account are still valid?

    Thanks
    Stéphane

    How about caching all web pages you bookmarked? You don't need to check the URL validation in this case.

    Thank you for your answer,

    I know there is a cache
    (I thought that caching was automatic, is it different?)
    and you're right in some cases it will do the job but not if I have bookmarked the page because it's the start page of a website of interest.

    http://www.diigo.com/tools/export I would export to a format that's suitable for a validation software/service.

    That looks like an idea, but then you have to manually remove the links.. how? in an HTML editor`?



    You also try to use Netvouz broken link cleaner feature, then delete all in diigo and import them back.
    Netvouz will also exports tags and comments but I'm not sure they use the same technics...

    Netvouz social bookmarking has an automatic feature that tries to detect broken links, and lets you choose to check them one by one or delete all.
    Screenshots:

    But it will not detect non broken links but where the service has shutdown.
    Maybe there could be a script that works like web page monitoring service and detects certain combination of keywords like 'we regret' close, shutdown, 'thank you'...
    It could also be a feature for a bookmark synchronizing service as Foxmarks....

    Lets hope someone will develop a little application...
