  1. Ok, thank you for the update. :)

  2. No biggie. However, as a suggestion, please reduce the number of movie converter giveaways, and more of other more ‘utility’ giveaways, like a word processor, tweak program, or something. -thanks.

  5. Thanks for the heads-up Slava/GOTD team…:D. Always looking forward to each day’s new offerings – some I can use, some I can’t, but still enjoy looking to see what’s new ‘today’. :)

    Comment by RosnSC — August 14th, 2008 at 3:25 am
  6. It happens…
    I can’t wait to come back tomorrow ;)

  7. Oh well I guess I will be sitting here looking at my screen for the next 24 hours until GAOTD can satisfy my daily fix. *Brings laptop into the bathroom and closes the door* :)

  8. Hi GAOTD Team, As a suggestion when there is maintenance or any problems which mean that there won’t be a giveaway that day please could you put a link to the announcement where the software would normally be rather then on the right hand side of the screen as it is not obvious on first opening the page that there has been an announcement.

    Thanks and I look forward to seeing tomorrows offering.

    Comment by Richard — August 14th, 2008 at 3:42 am
  9. I would have liked an offering today, but its good to have a break every once in a while.

    Else we could become the proverbial “spoiled brats”

    I’d say “Have fun” but maintenance is anything but.

    Comment by D.W — August 14th, 2008 at 3:42 am
  10. Oh gnoes!! no GOTD today? what am I going to do??? Lol….keep up the great work guys, if I was a teacher, I’d give ya an A+!

    Comment by Kados — August 14th, 2008 at 4:24 am
  11. Thank you, Slava. I appreciate your project and websites.
    Thanks GOTD

  12. please start giving away a gmae every day once again. because the site has lost its chsrm and attraction without a free game every day.

    thanks

    Comment by john — August 14th, 2008 at 4:37 am

    Comment by Best wishes — August 14th, 2008 at 5:15 am
  17. awh dang, i was waiting for more free software!

    Comment by edwin — August 14th, 2008 at 5:41 am
  18. I agree with cartman, we suggest you less movie converters ;) and more software like Liquid Story Binder or MagicScore School 5.342, because we can’t find similar freeware software…

    Two thumbs up for GAOTD!!!

    Comment by Rino — August 14th, 2008 at 6:00 am

    Comment by lee — August 14th, 2008 at 6:18 am

    Comment by Karvol — August 14th, 2008 at 6:21 am
  21. Slava is it? Well Slava , This ” Give Away of the Day ” Is by far, the best thing on the internet that I have yet to see or know about. You deserve some kind of humanitarian award. So to all those people that are complaining about Give Away of the Day maintenance…..quit bitching and be thankful!

    Comment by Spodo Commodo — August 14th, 2008 at 6:40 am
  23. Please, make the registration of the new software simple (or…as simple as you can…).
    THX! You’re great!

    Comment by Vlado — August 14th, 2008 at 6:41 am
  24. Thank you Slava and GOTD team.

    Comment by Sylvia — August 14th, 2008 at 6:43 am
  25. just a suggestion but could you offer adobe photoshop?
    i think it would be 100% thumbs up.
    anyway love the giveaways whats going to be tomorrow?

    Comment by mike — August 14th, 2008 at 6:50 am
  26. This is truly a wonderful site. A very original and win-win idea.
    I look forward to seeing what’s new and interesting every day.
    Thanks to Slava and the GOTD team.

    By the way, I’d like to take this opportunity to mention that many of us rely on GOTD to be the first line of defense to ensure that the software is free of virus & spyware. We presume that GOTD has done the necessary due diligence, which in turn influences our assessment as to whether the virus-alert from our PC’s anti-virus is a false-positive. Please keep up your good work in this regard.

    Comment by andrew — August 14th, 2008 at 7:09 am
  27. Suggestion, perhaps if possible a hint that their will no software before the midnight hour. If possible something along the lines of today’s free software is! However, tomorrow we will be having maintenance, please stop by to check on our progress. This would keep people from staying up late and being frustrated, honestly I don’t do this so its not a big deal for me. :) You guys are great so if you don’t do this its fine, just a tip.

    Comment by John — August 14th, 2008 at 7:39 am
  28. To number 19….you’re an *****. To the GAOTD team, thank you for what you do, it is always a pleasure to have the ability to try software out without paying retail. And of course, even better for free :D A lot of us do appreciate the effort you put into it. Thanks!

    Comment by loadedmodg — August 14th, 2008 at 7:40 am
  29. Try something decent,like OpenOffice…..you fool.
    Throw away that MS crap.

    Comment by mr.T — August 14th, 2008 at 8:07 am
  30. That comment was adressed to Number 19.

    Comment by mr.T — August 14th, 2008 at 8:09 am
  31. thx for all the cool progs keep it up

  32. @2 who needs a word processor giveaway when you can just download openoffice?

    Comment by guy — August 14th, 2008 at 8:57 am
  33. thanks for all that you do. “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” I always say… hopefully you take all criticism as constructive, you guys are great!

  36. Thank you for the update…

    Please do not give so many video converters…

    Thank you anyway…

    Comment by Xanorak — August 14th, 2008 at 10:13 am
  37. Ha Ha.

    Don’t blame ya, Slava.

    After all of the moans for all the good you do, I think I would need a day off too.

    Enjoy the break, M8.

  38. A comment for # 25 : You say “just a suggestion but could you offer adobe photoshop? i think it would be 100% thumbs up.”

    Of course it would get a high % of thumbs up. Adobe Photoshop sales prices vary from $300 to up to $1000. No S**T it would be a great giveaway.
    Be serious, Do you really think that “Adobe” would accept to offer this programs for free(even for just one day). GAOTD could bend over backwards,do the split,jump over the moon etc… It will not happen, so stop hoping and dreaming. Just be thankful to the programmers who do offer us their products for free.

    We should all be aware that GAOTD team`s work is not easy.

    Try this: Go to any merchant, choose a product and try to get it for free. He will think you are nuts. So imagine talking a merchant into giving his product for free, not just for one but for many. Not easy at all.

    We should all be thankful to GAOTD team their hard work.

    Thank you very much. Keep on giving. :D

  39. To the GIVEAWAY of the day team. a suggestion. Will be nice to have a Menu called “Web Site” next to the [Home] menu. That will hold all the web site of GIVEAWAY of the day (http://giveawayoftheday.com/,
    http://game.giveawayoftheday.com/, http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/freeware/, others) With a popup that say when you GIVEAWAY of the day team, will be at the site.

    Comment by Jhon Rborets — August 14th, 2008 at 11:08 am
  40. You guys are such a wonderful blessing! Love ya!!!!!!!!!!

  41. Or, try getting us more Wondershare software (with keys please… that way I don’t lose them :( during virus cleanups and stuff)I particularily liked DemoCreator, and I would have gotten quiz creator, if I hadn’t been at my grandparents where they have a dial-up connection.

  42. And you couldn’t have mentioned this yesterday? I’m over here dl’ing an 8mb IE security update on dial-up, and I only use IE for the updates, and decide load GAOTD while I wait . . . kind of a waste today.

    Comment by GrouchE — August 14th, 2008 at 11:54 am
  43. I could,’t sleep this morning, got up came to the computer and no GAOTD, I knew it was there some how the computer was playing a joke on me.
    Now, after repairing the beat-up computer, (Hey, it had it coming,) after deigning me my favorite fix in the morning,I see the reason why the favorite was not there, and have to apoligise to my Hewlett Packard.
    Now I will go back to bed and dream about what will be on the monitor with my morning cup of coffee tomorrow,……… Good Night!

    Comment by lyn — August 14th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
  44. I disagree with #2. This is the perfect medium for giving away different applications that have the same functionality. The website is meant to provide feedback to each business as to what to change and what to improve for customer satisfaction. We may see a feature given away in one application that another does not have and that we might prefer. We can then provide feedback to the developing business.

    Comment by GameDude — August 14th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
  45. Please bring back the daily game giveaway ! PLEASE !!!! I once remember a person by the name, Slava who in so many words claimed many, many, months ago that the games would return shortly.
    It’s been many months since I read that comment. How about it ? will you bring back the daily game giveaway ? It would be nice.
    Thanks once again.

    Comment by Purple Rabbit — August 14th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
  46. How about a program that extends the 24 hour period, to allow us to download these gifts anytime!

    Comment by lyn — August 14th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
  47. I was wondering why my feed hadn’t updated today. Ah well, surprise us with something good!

    Comment by Locke — August 14th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
  48. wow you guys suck. what kind of professionalism is this? and its not like u r doing this for free. you guys make money off of this.

  49. @No. 32: Open Office is bloatware for lusers.

    Comment by Nick Belane — August 14th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
  50. GAOTD Team: you are great and the work you do is amazing. To all that complain about the of the software…..SHUT UP and search for new and free offerings elsewhere by yourself. Have you people ever heard of the old saying – “Never look a gift horse in the mouth.” Some people are just not happy unless they’re complaining. Thanks again GAOTD.

    Comment by Tim Bourdon — August 14th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
  51. Just a quick note to give THANKS for your EXCELLENT website and service.
    I check in everyday with my RSS link to see what is offered and have your link on my websites and blogs.

    Thanks again,
    Craig

  52. Can we have a converter tomorrow – pretty please??

    Comment by Mike Rowe — August 14th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
  53. If you go to Gametop Games you’ll find and awesome website that gives away ALL their fully featured games FREE – every day. They are legal, immediate downloads that never expire. Their range of games is awesome, (malware and virus free) and they never have downtime. – Cody

    Comment by Cody — August 14th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
  54. GIVE US A .FLV EDITOR!!…PLEASE?!!…THANKS!!

  65. You know What, I Love these maintainance days of yours!Indeed you deserve it being one of the finest free services on the internet.These days improve your worth in people’s minds and even Give us a rest!!

    Comment by Frank — August 14th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
  66. Interesting, No programs apart from converters or screensavers so a *Maintainence day*

    Still a blank is better than HD filling pap :-)

    Bet tomorrows giveaway has been given before…same with the game!

    Comment by Lenny_B — August 14th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
  67. Keep your announcements in the upper right hand corner, it’s really not hard to figure that one out. I don’t see how it could be any easier to download and register the software. Just ignore such comments. I’m addicted also but totally understand maintenance. See you soon GAOTD! I haven’t had a complaint in all the months I’ve been coming here. How could anyone complain, you’re offerings are free. And the converters are not a problem, as sometimes I love trying out different ones. Wish I didn’t have to read all the whining. At least they can’t give me a thumbs down today. Ha! :-)

    Comment by BlingBlitz — August 14th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
  68. Hay photo shop complaining people. Settle Down. Let him dream, he just needs to read why they have free software, Check Out http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/for-developers/ . That will give you guys some more info on why the stuff is free. Also THANKS TO GIVEAWAYOFTHEDAY! GREAT JOB AND IDEA!

  69. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Ya’ll are so funny! Yeah. I’m not addicted either. I mean, really. I’m not. I swear. (She said, smiling.)

    I wondered why I didn’t get an email today. Now I know. Thanks for everything. Woot!

    Comment by Sari — August 15th, 2008 at 12:29 am
  73. I’ve got a really great idea for those who continue to post comments without downloading the offering, take today off to practice NOT posting a comment!

    So you tomorrow GiveDay Crew ♥
