A few words on the application, which I have been using for a few months now. For anyone looking for a straightforward web content saver / anotator / editor, I think it’s an excellent choice. I started using it in the course of my recently resumed studies, where saving content as plain text (with Brainstorm and Zoot) was often not an option. Till now it has performed very well, quickly saving most text & graphics content accessible by Internet Explorer.

Neville, the Surfulater (and Ed for Windows) developer, is helpful and responsive; he takes into account user input and requests without getting off course. He’s chosen to build a focused, solid application that is straightforward to use and anything but feature-bloated.

One of the interesting ways that the powerful infrastructure shows in the user experience is the data tree, which can be automatically re-organised by date; apparently, more such re-organisation modes will be available in the future.

For those wanting to keep everything in one place, Surfulater can probably facilitate collecting the content. For sharing content, the trial version of Surfulater can now work as a permanently free viewer.

Last but not least, a rather obvious disclaimer: I am in no way associated with Neville’s business other than being his customer.
