New Research Software !

I remember the days when personal computer stores data on cassette. That meant anything to be done by the computer existed on a tape cassette or a floppy disk out side the computer first. Lots of money was spent on storage boxes.

There were also multi-user computer systems that were built using several terminal connected to a central processor. These contained hard drives on which one could permanently save and organize information.

Then came some advance and cheap personal computers with power automation.
& that modernization had brought the human task so simple and quick.
More about advance web research (research software) next time

Search and save

I wanted to share my experience, my knowledge and my views with people and thats why I chose blogging.

I love surfing on Internet and collecting information about every single topic that interest me but I was struggling with data saving problem.
It is almost next to impossible to store all the data therefore I searched for a software which can save my web pages.

Organizing web pages is also a challenging task.
After digging my head in a freeware site's browser utility section I found a exceptionally good software keepoint, it has many surprising features like it can annotate, save web pages, organize links.
And one feature which I admire the most is, it's export feature by which you can share your web research with your friends or work mate.

And it is free!!
Try this one and wish me luck for my next search :)
