My Cantina - blog.surfulater.com/2007/01/22/» A Great Surfulater Review:
James Fallows mentioned Surfulater in The Atlantic in Nov 2006 in his article Making Haystacks, Finding Needles :
A relatively new entry, Surfulater, created by a veteran developer in Australia, differs from most of the others in the elaborate ways it allows you to comment on, classify, and even edit the material you have collected. For instance, if you’ve copied and stored a blog entry or a passage from a Web site, you can enter notes of your own right alongside the clip, and search for those comments later on. It also has a variety of special categorization tools.
Just after Christmas Ercan Cem contacted me about reviewing Surfulater on his blog Digital World, which was most welcome. Ercan does a very good job of explaining the need people have for Surfulater and how it fulfills this need. You can find [his review] at Great Information Manager: Surfulater:
It’s possible to categorize Surfulater as a PIM but the main feature and strength of this awesome program is managing web sites [that you want to note or just be able to find later]. It’s so easy to capture those pages or clippings. Basically, you select the portion of the web page that you’d like to keep, right click, choose one of Surfulater’s saving options [Add new article, Add article plus page, Attach page to article] which are built into the context menu once you install the program, and there you go.
Once you capture, the title and the link of the page is automatically inserted. A fantastic feature of Surfulater is that you can actually edit the pages you’ve saved. You can even annotate or cross-reference them. Needless to say, now you can search whatever you want in any way you want.
The main reason why I liked this program is that it’s so easy to get organized.
Surfulater is not just [for] saving clippings or pages. You [can] use it as personal notebook like Microsoft OneNote [hmm] With a price tag of $35, I don’t think that Surfulater is too expensive and I do think that it will worth every penny and then some more. Check out the difference with other similar products (like MyBase) and my general points will even be clearer.
well I am fine w my current use of blogger for saving content, I think. but if ever need to organize, to put something together, I think I'd be interested in this.
my dlcs notes-
impressive. one instance of article (clipping) can be saved in multiple folders w/in heirchl 'knwldge tree', can be fr web or yr pc. and you can edit the article itself (built-in html editor - add italics, bold, etc) & add cmmts - all fields unlimited space.
testimonial - Rbt Lansdale: I removed all 2 dozen PIMs [Personal Info Mgmt programs - myBase, Onfolio, Content Saver and Netsnippets]fr my machine & purchased Surfulator.
