"Never memorize something that you can look up." Albert Einstein

Surfulater enables you to save anything you see on the Internet as well as anything on your PC. 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.

On the Internet Surfulater lets you capture rich HTML text and images from web pages and save web pages in their entirety. It automatically captures the web page address (URL), the page Title, a thumbnail image of Web page and Meta information.

In other Windows Programs like MS Word or Adobe Acrobat you can gather content and directly create new Surfulater articles from it, using the Surfulater Clipboard Hotkey.

Files from your PC can be embedded directly into Surfulater Articles, so you have everything stored together in the one place. Or you can add links to files for quick access from Surfulater.

Your information can be edited using Surfulater's built-in HTML editor. Articles can be linked together to build a web of related information and notes can be added to make content even more valuable.

Surfulater stores all of your information in a free form Knowledge Tree. You can create an unlimited number of folders to hold information and Surfulater solves the age old problem of which folder is best to use, by letting you store the same article in as many folders as you want. This capability combined with the ability to link articles together makes it much easier to categorize, organize and manage your information.

Tags enable content to be flagged using keywords or phrases. For example to see all articles with the tag 'solar energy' simply click on it in the Tags tree. Tags are quick to add to articles using auto-suggest and groups of articles can have tags added or removed in one simple process.

There is little point storing information if you can't easily find it again. Surfulater's full text search engine quickly and effortlessly finds information.

Information can be shared with your colleagues via Surfulater's built-in E-mail capability or saved as HTML or MHT and files and passed around.

A Surfulater knowledge base (database) is completely contained in just three files, making them easy to carry around with you on a USB Flash Drive, or move between PC's i.e. work and home. And you can share your knowledge bases with friends and colleagues using Surfulater's Free Reader mode.

Surfulater lets you work with as many knowledge bases as you want, so you can divide your information up to best suit your needs.

The screen shot below shows an Article in the Surfulater content window. The article includes images and text captured from the Web, user Comments, the Web page URL, an Attachment which links to the complete Web page in the Surfulater database, and a Cross Reference link to another Surfulater article. A thumbnail image of the Web page is also included.

Surfulater lets you categorize the acquired knowledge in a free form hierarchical tree,in other words, you can create a comprehensive, highly organized and descriptive structure into which you can file your entries for efficient retrieval. Several different views of the tree are available.
