Do your bookmarks (favourites if you still use IE) still work?

If you scour the web like I do, you probably have a crap-load of bookmarks (or favourites if you still use Internet Explorer). Chances are that you have not gone through every bookmark (or favourites if you still use Internet Explorer) to check their validity, or for duplicates.

CheckPlaces to the rescue. It will find every bookmark (or favourite if you still use Internet Explorer) that's not working and list it for you. A word of advice though - before you indiscriminately delete all the dead links that it finds, be mindful that many of the sites you've saved are still functional, it's just the specific page you've saved that's not. So it wouldn't hurt to try to open the page yourself and update the URL.
