twURL

“A power tool for the WWW Information Professional who needs to process web content for high quality, relevance, and rapid insight. twURL takes up where search engines leave off and brings order to collection, analysis, selection, and presentation of 1000s of URLs. twURL’s visual decision support interface helps turn raw, unorganized URL lists on a topic into selected, categorized, and reusable collections in HTML files and data bases. twURL invokes structure and insight using a Windows ‘URL Explorer’ model (treeview outline, listview details). Graphics (pie & bar charts), numerical distributions, and data patterns reveal unseen trends — popularity, authority, novelty, alliances/rivalries, and gaps — to the inquiring analyst. ‘Browsing-in-context’ is a highly productive experience where user-defined clusters of web pages are browsed in meaningful order to elicit rapid understanding of content and to support selection and rating of web pages.”
