Webskan is a collaborative platform for searching the web, organizing and sharing your results . .. without “cut and paste”. Skan. Organize. Share …

Searching data on the Web is always a challenge .. Launch multiple searches with different keywords, try to keep track of the searches, cut & paste the interesting results.
When you want to share some interesting findings, you send multiple links in emails, ...

Webskan is a multi-sources and collaborative on line solution which is going to drastically change the way you will be searching for information on the web; Webskan will allow you to optimise and share the "Smart Web".
First of all, WebSkan allows you to launch multiple searches against multiple search engines of your choice.
It allows you then to memorise all the searches and all the results found on the web, permanently; you then have plenty of time to sort, enrich, organise the results in a smart way and share them with others.

Webskan functionalities are:
- Launch searches on the web by combining simultaneously multiple search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, DailyMotion, …) and multiple search terms (one term = a combination of words) within the same search.
- Automatic filtering of the results based on user preferences (preferred languages; exclude results from blacklisted websites; purge of the duplicate links; …).
- See all the results at a glance, under the same format, whatever their structure is (videos, links towards articles, images, …). They are shown under a unique and homogeneous interface, the “vignette” format.
- Keep track of all the searches and the results (local mode or stored on the cloud) in order to have time to sort and organize them; you can start a search and work on it later, and why not using another device.
- Enrich the folder with emails received, post-its, votebox or web contents captured “on the fly”, with a single click, when surfing on the Web.
- Organize and present quickly and in a professional way the results of your searches through a nice and friendly user interface « PowerPoint style» (titles, colours, free positioning, ..).
- Share and collaborate in real time around all the folder elements, with a centralisation of all the feedbacks.

With Webskan, accelerate your web searches, organise the results and share them.
Skan. Organise. Share …. Webskan.

Webskan can be used in a freemium mode (unlimited time) but limited in terms of capabilities ... The limitations are in terms of number of folders managed + number of people I can collaborate with. - For more details about the pricing please see our website.
