Digestible Content Tool For The Busy Person

July 7, 2015

RSS feeds and Web page readers curate content from select Web sites tailored to suit a users’ needs.  While all of the content is gathered in one spot and the headlines are available to read, sometimes the readers return hundreds of articles and users do not have the time to read all of them.  True, sometimes users can glen the facts from the headlines and the small blurb included with it, but sometimes it is not enough.

There are apps that gather and summarize a users’ content, but these are usually geared towards a specific industry or an enterprise system.   There is a content reader that was designed for the average user, while at the same time it can be programmed to serve the needs of many professionals.  The Context Organizer from Content Discovery Inc. is an application that summarizes Web pages and documents in order to pinpoint relevant information.    The Content Organizer works via five basic steps:

“1. Get to the point – Speed-up reading by condensing web pages, emails and documents into keywords and summaries presented in context.

  1. Make a Long Story Short – The Short Summary headlines most important sentences – instant information capsules.
  2. Accelerate Search – Search the web with relevant keywords. Summarize Google search results for rapid understanding.
  3. Take Notes – Quickly collect topics and sentences. Send them to WordPad or Word. Share notes – send them by e-mail.
  4. Visualize – View summaries in context as Mindjet MindManager maps.”

There are three different Context Organizer versions: one that specifically searches the Web, another that searches the Web and Microsoft Products, and the third is a combination of the prior versions plus it includes the Mindjet MindManager.  The prices range from $60-$120 with a free twenty-one day trial, which we suggest you start with.  Always start with free trial first, because you mind be throwing away money on an item you do not like.  With the amount of content available on the Web, any tool that helps organize and summarize it is worth investigating.
