Surfulater™: an Internet Note-taking Program
I have been testing Surfulater™, a Web Information Collection program.
Here is what Surfulater™ does:
- Collects Web research
- Saves Web page content
- Gathers Clipboard information
- Records and organizes your bookmarks or favorites
- Works as a Personal Information Manager (PIM)
I have used another program, InfoSelect™ for maybe 15 years, and the tree interface is similar to the one that Surfulater™ uses.

But, InfoSelect™ costs $250 for a new user, and the version for the Palm™ operating system costs another $70.
You can buy Surfulater™ for only $35, and you can download a trial version first to see if it fulfills your needs.
InfoSelect™ collects vast amounts of information, and allows you to search the entire database for individual words. If you work with text in your research, InfoSelect™ is a valuable tool.
However, Surfulater™ does some tricks that make collecting Web information easier. It...
- Captures whole Web pages
- Captures images
- Captures page content
Then, you can use the built in search to find the information that you have collected.
Another trick that beats InfoSelect™...
Surfulater™ can capture the text information from a Web site, and automatically captures the link address.
This feature cuts research time in half, i.e., one step instead of two steps.
InfoSelect™ is my bread and butter research tool, but not many teachers will be able to find $250 for the program. (I purchased InfoSelect™ years ago, at a much lower price, and I have kept the product updated all these years.
But, teachers don't live in a text-only world, and they can use Surfulater™'s graphic capture features to gather lesson
research.
