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.
