JJ -
Thanks for your comments on Surfulater.

“-Capturing a whole web page is not perfect.”

There are pages it doesn’t capture properly. We’ve done a lot of work on this but it is very difficult to guarantee that each and every page will capture ok, for all sorts of reasons. It also takes time to hear about pages that cause problems and then address. If you can let me know the URL of the page you had problems with I can look into this.

“-Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but it seems like it is more focused at capturing parts of the page… not the entire page. For me, I’m more interested in grapping the whole page… But I’m sure for lots of people who are doing research, Surfulater is the perfect tool. ?”

Thanks. Our focus is on capturing selected text and images from a page. This avoids waisting space with advertisements and other irrelevant content. It also enables us to display more concise information and do things like show all content for a folder at once. Along with other advantages. But of course you can capture complete Web pages as well, if that’s what you prefer.

“Don’t know if you can mark-up saved content???”

We will be adding a mark-up capability fairly soon. Right now you can edit content and in doing so use Bold Italic etc.

We have a range of interesting features coming down the Surfulater pipeline.
