Surfulater

Save What You Surf!

Web browsers are fantastic when it comes to browsing, but let's be honest, they're not so hot for compiling those infinite masses of data, images, and information into something that we can actually use.

Ask yourself:

How often have you gone back to a website only to find that some crucial image, article, or snippet of information is no longer available?
Do you ever feel like your internet research is being sabotaged by the fact that you have no way to effectively and conveniently organize it?
Are your browser bookmarks starting to enter the triple (or quadruple!) digits?

With Surfulater, you can permanently save anything that you find on the web and organize it all in intelligent, functional ways. You can use it as a general purpose information manager, a powerful research tool and research organizer, and as a knowledge base to build your own digital library of information.

Give it a try today, Surfulater will change the way you use the internet!

“Truly, I find this one of the most useful programs on my computer. There is so much information out there that I need to keep track of. Before, I would use bookmarks and would copy things into text files, etc. But the text files were hard to find, and the bookmarks would get outdated, and then I wouldn't remember why I was bookmarking them in the first place. Keeping them in a searchable database is awesome!

In short, your product is absolutely wonderful and just keeps getting better. I think it's a hard thing to describe what it does, but once you use it, you feel lost without it.

Thanks!!!”- Russ Jackson
“Being a somewhat obsessive online researcher by nature, over the years I've collected a dozen binders full of printed material and thousands of bookmarks, and that system has failed me time and again. I can never find what I need when I need it, or the information just evaporates as websites disappear. Managing the various articles, news clips, forum posts and other information I collect in any useful manner has always been a huge challenge - one I'd never found a satisfactory solution for.

Surfulator now provides me with that solution, in a very usable package, allowing me to organize, edit, add notes and cross-reference in a way that works for my specific needs. I use it for a lot of business research, and in researching a broad range of interests and personal hobbies. It is extremely helpful to have a permanent and easily organized place to store and retrieve this wealth of info. I have also used Surfulator to virtually detail my entire business plan through a deep hierarchical set of task lists - the tree is key to this use.

All in all I'm very happy with Surfulator, it's a great tool I've come to rely on heavily, and I've really only scratched the surface of how I hope to use it in the future. I appreciate your open door policy a lot - your direct from the developer customer service - as well as the free upgrade as you make new functions available. It really does set you apart in a very good way in my opinion. I hope that strategy proves to be a profitable one, your work is appreciated, and you deserve all success.”- Arlen Schif, Breeze Chasers
“I'm the founder of LandlordMax Property Management Software. Running a company is not a simple task as many of you know or can imagine. Part of my job of running my company is to give it direction for the future. To do this, I often end up doing a lot of research online, reading a lot of articles about customer service, software development, marketing, sales, general business, etc. Basically I read on a lot of diverse business and real estate related topics.

Anyone who's been online for a while can really appreciate Surfulater. Favorites/bookmarks are a good start, but they don't really work. There are two big problems with favorites/bookmarks. First and most importantly, websites go away and/or are changed over time. Maybe yesterday you found this great website that you bookmarked that suddenly disappeared for you today. That's the most frustrating thing for me! Another issue for me personally is that I can't properly search through my list of favorites/bookmarks. Yes, I can search based on the title, but I can't search based on the content. I often remember parts of the content much more than the titles. For example an article on a new marketing method where I only remember the name of the new marketing method. Or an article on how to improve software testing where I can only remember the author, the date, or a part of the article.

With Surfulater I was able to completely get rid of these two problems. Now when I find something I like, I bring it over to Surfulater. This way I know the article will not go away and I can easily sort, and find it later.

If I calculate the cost of my time wasted on dealing with these problems versus the price of Surfulater, I make back multiple of the money I invested in purchasing it!

Great job Neville, great product, and great Service!”- Stephane Grenier, LandlordMax Software Inc.

SoftCollector Dear Developer,

When is v4 of Surfulater due? I do not want to end up paying for it in a couple of months - after purchasing v3x here.

Kind regards,
SC

Aug 27 2011 at 9:24am

Bill Maslen The last time I experimented with Surfulater, I was very disappointed by its handling of foreign-language characters (UTF-8 and other accented characters). How well does the latest version handle accented characters in searches in particular? A search function that can't handle multilingual criteria is effectively crippled.

Thanks!
Bill

Aug 28 2011 at 4:42am

Tom G IMO CyberArticle is way much better than all other similar software in terms of speed and the ability to save all web page contents including flash videos. CyberArticle only supports IE though.

Aug 28 2011 at 8:15am

Neville Franks @SoftCollector, We have no specific schedule for a V4 release at this time. It certainly won't be any time soon.

@Bill, to resolve the foreign-language character search issue requires a quite major reworking and redevelopment of parts of Surfulater. Unfortunately this was a mistake in our original implementation and is still present.

Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - Aug 28 2011 at 2:36pm

Brian H For Neville & other BDJ Consumers- this software looks very interesting! How does it compare to a similar product I've had my eye one, Metaproducts "Inquiry Professional Edition"?

Aug 29 2011 at 9:21am

Neville Franks Hi Brian, I think it is best for you to download and evaluate these products and see which one best suits your needs and which one you are most comfortable using.

That said IMO Surfulater is a more feature rich application which enables content to be better organized and accessed. HTH.

Bill Maslen Thanks for being so frank about the foreign character support, guys. I like Surfulater very much otherwise (which is what makes that particular issue so frustrating). So I look forward to trying it again when you've rebuilt the back-end!

Peter Heunichen Is there a limit to the number of attached files? How big can Surfulator files be (and still be running smoothly)?
Are attached pdf-filex indexed?

Aug 30 2011 at 2:45am

Neville Franks Hi Peter,
There is no limit to the number of attached files. The Surfulater database is limited to 2GB. I doubt whether you'd want to have a database this big though, but you can.

Attached PDF files are not indexed.

Marco Pivetta Does it works with others browses than IE?

Aug 30 2011 at 7:40am

Bob Roberts I've been using the trial version the last couple of days with FF 5 and it has worked fine.

VLM If I may ask, what functionality does Surfulater provide that the Firefox Scrapbook extension does not provide (roughly speaking)?

Aug 30 2011 at 12:55pm

Neville Franks Marco, it works with Chrome, Firefox and IE. Further it can capture content from any Windows Application.

-Neville

Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - Aug 30 2011 at 1:56pm

Nico Westerdale @Presiding, Scrapbook simply saves snippets. Surfulator allows you supreme management and organisation of web content, allowing tagging, filtering, searching. Basically it allows you to build a huge knowledge library and use it in a million ways. Take a look at the screenshots, you can see it's very fully featured.

Bits du Jour Admin - Aug 30 2011 at 1:57pm

Neville Franks I've not looked at Scrapbook for some time. That said some points are:
- Works in Chrome, Firefox & IE. (Not tied to a browser)
- Organize by Folders and Tags.
- Filter the tree view by folder, tag or article.
- Full text search with wildcards.
- Capture content from any Windows app.
- Append content to articles from any Windows App.
- Attach files to articles.
- Cross reference articles.
- All content kept in a database which is easily moved amongst PC's.
- View all articles in a Folder at once.
- Re-order article fields.
- Link to Surfulater articles from Word and other application files.
- Capture Screen shots.
- .....

Mark S. Questions:

Why do all the Surfulater forums end in December 2010? Since I find that forums are often your best source of support.

Is the programmer still actively involved? It seems like blog entries are infrequent, and the web page still has info from 2007. I also note that some fixes occurred by rolling back features.

In effect, I'm wondering if Surfulater is on the verge of being orphaned?

Thanks!

Aug 30 2011 at 3:36pm

Neville Franks Hi Mark S, The original forums have been replaced by our new Support Center http://help.surfulater.com which which we feel lets us deliver even better support to our users. See also: http://www.surfulater.com...ct-support/

I am the developer of Surfulater and very much still actively involved. I have not been blogging much lately because I have been busy on a new project and haven't had much to say on the Surfulater front.

We had to remove one specific feature because we were unable to completely resolve a problem it caused. We felt this was better than keeping it and causing some uses angst.

If you care to let me know what web page has info from 2007 I can check this and update same if necessary.

I am not actively working on Surfulater at present as I am working on some new projects.

Marco Pivetta Is there a way to sync the databases? I use web browser in my work, laptop and desktop. Today I use Xmarks to sync bookmarks and it syncs all of them. It would be great if I could make it with Surfulater.

Aug 30 2011 at 3:57pm

Neville Franks Hi Marco,
I agree it would be great if Surfulater could automagically sync it's databases across PC's and this is something we'd like to see, however it is quite a complex task and not one we've tackled as yet.

There are various ways you can sync the databases by copying them. For example you could use a remote backup service, a USB stick or Sync software like SFFS.

-Neville

Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - Aug 30 2011 at 4:51pm

VLM Thanks Neville for that great response. I can see that Sufrulator outshines Scrapbook in many ways.

Actually, I was hoping that would be the case, as I tried and abandoned Scrapbook long ago. What I do now, is simply PDF the pages I wish to retain. This enables me to store them right alongside other documents relevant to a project, research topic, or the like. The PDFs are of course searchable, as the the tree view. In a good file manager (DOpus, for example) there are tags and what not. Some of the other features, such as appending, attaching, and the like may be superior in Surfulater. But I also find benefit in having everything in one place. It has never made sense to me to organize web content using a mechanism independent of all the other content I have.

I would not claim that my point of view is "correct", there is no such thing here. Still, it does make sense to me.

Thinking about this one ....

Aug 30 2011 at 4:53pm

Neville Franks @The Presiding Emissary for Vibrant Living Ministries and Successors

Surfulater enables you to edit captured content, add notes, add cross references between articles, link from external documents (Word/PDF etc.) to Surfulater articles, tag articles etc. You can also capture content from an Windows app and either create new articles or append the content to existing articles. You can also capture screen shots.

So it has various ways to capture information, edit it, then organize and structure it and most importantly find it again. The key is to turn information into readily accessible knowledge.
