As of yesterday, PreFound.com allows users to share links with the PreFound.com community without the use of the PFfinder toolkit, which means "no download required". With this feature live on the site, we've implemented the two most requested enhancements to the PreFound.com site, which were RSS feeds from user pages, particularly Featured Finders, and the ability to share links with the community without the need for a download. Now, users can simply type in or paste in URL's directly onto the PreFound.com site just like many other tagging sites like Del.icio.us or MyWeb 2.0. All you need is a browser. We understand that in many corporate environments downloading and installing third-party applications takes tons of paperwork and approvals, so we're trying to be there for all you guys.

Beyond this new feature, PreFound.com now also offers a quick way to import the links you've saved on other sites and share them with our community. We've started with Del.icio.us, but will be adding Yahoo's MyWeb and Furl very soon. So if you've already saved some great links on another site that you'd like to share with us, we're trying to make that process as easy as possible.

So now, RSS feeds are available for all user pages, so if your favorite user shares new links with PreFound.com, you'll be notified immediately via RSS if you desire. And, users can now share links in two different ways without a download. We'd like to let everyone know that it's best to share Groups of associated, related links with us, rather than single links.

Of course, the PFfinder is a next-generation link gathering, organizing, sharing and tagging application, that provides the easiest and most efficient way of gathering and sharing links with PreFound.com. With PFfinder, you can save graphic links, organize them by folders, associate links with graphics even if they're not originally done that way. PFfinder will even suggest tags for your links when you share them with PreFound.com. So, needless to say, use it when you can. But if you can't, we're giving you additional paths to be part of our community.

I think being able to just click the upload button in your pffinder box after you have saved it is way easier than going through the other process!!!
 
It is, no doubt... but, there are many users who just aren't allowed to download and install software on their PC's at work or in a library, etc. And, some who just as a rule don't want to install anything. We wanted to make sure not to exclude them from the community. We need everyone to join up and help us index the web.
