I just discovered WebResearch 3 Professional yesterday, and I'm so excited about it that I just had to share it. I try out all the outliner and organization software I can get my hands on, and this is spectacular. You can capture and organize everything you find on the net. I have been a faithful user of UltraRecall Professional for some time now, but this is moving to the top of my list. If you try it out, I'd love to hear what you think about it.

Here's thr free trial download site: http://www.macropool.com/en/download/webresearch/index.html

Be sure to snag the Firefox & Outlook Add-Ins while you're on the site: http://www.macropool.com/en/products/webresearch/extensions.html

It will be interesting to compare Web Research 3 with myInfo 6 when the latter appears.
-c

Very quickly will become massive, but can be broken into smaller databases, but then tree will become massive!.....and I don?t like find feature in its present form.

Some clever features though?..reminders, outlook hook etc. ...I need to put in lots more content to see where it goes but suspect ill uninstall...or maybe keep and use some feature to strip out the Info want to keep (into my better, simpler and smaller outliner system).

Reminders are a great feature--something I miss in Evernote. Evernote also has an the Outlook hook, but it doesn't automatically save attachments, as WebResearch claims to do. I wish Surfulater had an Outlook hook. Of course, Evernote has the advantage (crucial for me) of built-in seamless syncing. I like the idea of having a robust tree structure (in addition to Evernote's tags). WebResearch also seems a bit pricey: $40 for two (personal-use) workstations, plus another $15 for the Outlook extension, plus another $20 for the scanner extension. The free version of Evernote starts to sound much better to me.

Cheers,

Hi there,

A quick (slightly general) comment: very few (if any) of these web capture and knowledge management tools seem to support Chrome as a browser which is kind of annoying as it now my browser of choice!

Hi - as a longtime lurker of this site, I have enjoyed and valued the many recommendations people have made. I just had to put my two cents in when I saw that the topic was Web Research. I have used this program since it first came out and the experience has been wonderful as it got better and better. Today, Web Research has become one of my most indispensable applications. I use it virtually every time I am online. It is so valuable that it's the one application that has stopped me from completely switching everything to Mac. I have looked, tried and bought a slew of Mac apps but none can compare to Web Research when it comes to capturing, editing and manipulating web pages. Finally, I have no connection with the company but I am a huge fan of their product.

I am also a WebResearch user and, like the previous poster, use it every day. It is by the far the fastest, easiest, and most reliable method for capturing web content that I've come across. I also own Surfulater, which is very good, but I still use WebResearch as my primary capture tool. The two features that Surfulater has over WR (and what made me purchase it) is the ability to search/organize saved pages using tags and chronological date hierarchies.

My Frankenstein-wish would be WR with:
1. "Delicious-like" tagging,
2. "Web 2.0-like" tag clouds for filtering,
3. "Evernote 2.2-like" chronological date ordering/viewing,
4. "PowerMarks-like" quick-type filtering, and
5. "PDF Annotator-like" highlighting and annotating.

How's that for a wish-list!
Glen

Evernote has a great Chrome extension - I do not use my DT Evernote anymore for clipping b/c the extension is better, less buggy that going from browser to desktop version. I am hoping soon to return to Mac about being away from it for about 8 years - will probably use DevonThink and Omnioutliner as my main programs - then a lot of this discussion will become moot.
