Hi Daly, Derek & John,
I’m the author of Surfulater and just found this thread after looking at my Web stats. I’d like to make a few comments.

First I don’t think of Surfulater as being OnFolio on steroids, but that is for you folks to decide not me. All the products mentioned have various strengths and weaknesses.

Surfulater uses open industry standard XML for storing content you save from Web pages. There is no proprietary lock-in and being XML means your information can easily be accessed by other applications.

Further Surfulater does not lock you inside a Browser unlike OnFolio, ContentSaver etc.

In Surfulater all content for a Knowledge Base (Database) is stored in just two files. This makes it very easy to carry your KB’s around on say a USB stick or move them to another PC.

Surfulater does not limit itself to just storing Web content. It uses a simple open concept of templates which enable us or you to easily add new types of records. It comes with templates for: To Do list, Contact details, Music catalog, Code Snippets and Web Info.

Surfulater also lets you edit all saved content, add notes, add See Also links between articles, store content in any number of folders at once and more, e-mail content, search using full text search and lots more.

It is also under very active development with interesting new capabilities in the pipeline.

Surfulater V1.92, B0.0 has just been released on 10 Nov 2005.

I welcome feedback from all readers here. We have a blog at http://blog.surfulater.com support forums at http://www.softasitgets.com and the Surfulater Web site is at http://www.surfulater.com E-mail details are on the Contact/Support page.

Thanks,
Neville Franks.
