I was poking around online last night and came across a website with a handy tool that allows you to do research using a simple software interface. The tool looked interesting enough that I read the sales page for it and wanted to get it. They did a great job of convincing me that I needed it. The main promise is that you cut down your research time in half and that you have access to all the sites that you’ll need to look at when doing research for product ideas, writing book, or really anything.
The tool allows you to search four article directories, wikipedia, twitter, some forums, image sites and a LOT more. Ok, this isn’t going to be a sales letter for this thing but it does search a lot of cool places and puts them into one single location. The price tag was $37 for the software which is a good deal but I was really bored last night and being the ‘Geek’ that I am, I wanted to mess around and I decided that rather than buy the darn thing, I would geek out and try and code the thing myself.
I’ve uploaded it for you guys to toy around with, I’m not sure what I plan to do with it but you guys can have it free by downloading it from here.
Let me know what you think of it. Post your comments below.
