Organization
- Have you ever bookmarked a web page in your browser only to find that a week or a month later when you go back to retrieve it the page no longer exists? Or the content has changed?
- Have you ever deleted bookmarks to save room only to find that the week after you wish had that link back?
- Do you manually save web pages that you want to keep? Is your computer full of disorganized web pages that you have saved?
- Did you ever wish that there was an easy way to retrieve those pages or do full-text searching within them?
- Do you sign up for e-mail alerts from your favorite news sites for key words youre interested in? Are you tired of getting spammed with unrelated e-mail from these sites?
- Do you get tired of having to wade through a bunch of ads, meaningless graphics and extraneous nonsense JUST to get to the data you want?
If so, Web Organizer is for you.
Automation
- Do you visit certain web sites on a regular basis looking for information that is pertinant to you and have to wade through the 99% which isnt? Would you like to have a personal assistant who does that for you - and who highlights the results to boot?
- Do you need to keep track of a lot of information from a lot of different sources?

If so, Web Organizer is for you.
Why cant I just use Google Desktop?
- The flip answer is "Go ahead. Its YOUR privacy and YOUR data".
- The long answer involves reading this article: Privacy fears hit Google search.
- Also, Google Desktop brings you news from sources THEY pick. Not very useful if you need news from Suddeutsche Zeitung or the Tucson Weekly or some niche industry website.
- Web Organizer visits the sites YOU choose, looks for the key words YOU choose, at the breadth and depth that YOU choose. It then organizes the information for you and displays it in the manner that YOU choose.
- All without alerting the web sites which pages you are interested in, nor which key words.
- No installed cookies. No tracking from within the web site. No ads. No pop-ups.
- And it does it automatically, day after day, at a time that YOU choose. (This feature is not activated by default. You must activate it and set the time in the Administration window.)
So who would want it?
- Small business owners and entrepreneurs who need help keeping track of news about suppliers, clients, legislation, the business climate, etc.
- Stockholders who want to keep track of news from companies whose shares they hold.
- Bloggers and smaller news sources who need access to specific subjects from many different sources.
