Outwit: An Information Access Assistant
April 9, 2009
OutWit Technologies, http://www.outwit.com/ offers a suite of products through a Firefox 3 extension designed to help streamline your online searches. Its goal is to provide simple, one-function applications: OutWit Docs beta, http://www.outwit.com/products/docs/license.php, finds and collects documents, spreadsheets and presentations and allows you to work with them; With OutWit Images, you can automatically explore Web pages or search engine results for pictures and easily create, save, and share your collections or view them as full-screen slide shows. There’s also OutWit Hub, http://www.outwit.com/products/hub/, an all-purpose Web collection engine. With it you can find, grab and organize all kinds of data and media from online sources. They aim for simple, but I found all these programs a little overwhelming. If you’re in the market for looking at a web page and seeing every link, document and graphic listed on it, OutWit seems comprehensive. Check it out.
