MicroSurfer 2.3 Plus Edition

Surfing Simplified

MicroSurfer is web-productivity software that optimizes and organizes your web access by allowing you to jump directly between links--without waiting for web pages to display and without backtracking in your browser. MicroSurfer's innovative approach to navigating the web solves the two most common problems experienced by everyone who uses a browser: waiting for pages to download and display, and getting lost trying to find previously visited pages. MicroSurfer liberates you from the tedious process of constantly clicking on your browser's Back button, wasting time as pages you've already viewed are redisplayed, just to return to a web page with additional links you want to explore.

A Better Way to Browse

Drag links from any web page and drop them into the MicroSurfer window to have MicroSurfer download those links to your browser's cache in the background. A color-coded download status next to each link in MicroSurfer indicates when it is ready to be viewed. Click on any downloaded link in MicroSurfer and the web page displays in your browser immediately. By separating the downloading of web pages from their display, MicroSurfer enables you to view web pages on demand at speeds greater than even the fastest Internet connection.

Navigate Directly Between Links

You can surf between captured links instantly, in any order--and without having to go back to the page where you found them. MicroSurfer is indispensable for surfing through search results, portals, and news, sports or financial sites--anytime you want to explore multiple links from the same page. Without MicroSurfer you'd waste time clicking on individual links and waiting for web pages to load and display in your browser. With MicroSurfer you can visit more than three times as many web pages in the same amount of time than with your browser alone. Once you experience how MicroSurfer's direct "link-to-link" surfing makes using the web faster, simpler and easier, you won't want to go back to the old, click-and-wait method of browsing.

Link-to-Link Surfing vs. Click-and-Wait Surfing

In order to explore the first ten links on a search results page using your browser alone, you have to click on each link, wait for it to load in your browser, view the resulting web page, and then use your browser's Back button to return to the search-results page again to get to the next link. Browsing those ten links means redisplaying the original search-results page nine times, for a total browser display of nineteen pages.
If each of those ten links averages 30 seconds to download and another 30 seconds to read once the page is displayed, you will have spent a total of nineteen and a half minutes to view just those first ten link--with nearly two-thirds of your time spent downloading and redisplaying pages.
Using MicroSurfer, you don't have to return to the search-results page because you capture all ten links on your first visit, and then surf to each link directly. Instead of viewing nineteen web pages using only your browser, MicroSurfer downloads and displays only ten pages, cutting the demand on your Internet connection almost in half and eliminating the redisplay of previously visited web pages. Since these links were downloading by MicroSurfer in the background, they are displayed without waiting when you click on them.
Instead of spending nineteen and a half minutes visiting the first ten links of a search results page, you spend only five and a half minutes to visit the same ten pages with MicroSurfer.

Maximize Your Internet Connection

Slow web-site servers and heavy Internet traffic can cause gaps in the flow of web pages and other data to your browser. MicroSurfer's multi-session technology downloads web-page content from up to three sites simultaneously, maximizing your Internet connection. By filling the gaps between bursts of data from various web-site servers, MicroSurfer can dramatically improve the download rate of your Internet connection, regardless of your connection speed.

Outperforms Web Accelerators

By any realistic benchmark, MicroSurfer far outperforms web accelerator plug-ins, which typically pre-cache only 5 percent to 10 percent of the pages the user ultimately views. MicroSurfer pre-caches 100 percent of the pages that you view because it only downloads the pages that you select, conserving bandwidth by not downloading links that you do not care about.

Unparalleled Link Management

Bookmarks and Favorites tend to bog down after collecting a few hundred links, and require users to go into a separate function to add or rearrange links and they are impossible to share with others. MicroSurfer presents a consistent, fully integrated interface, built on simple drag-and-drop actions for maximum ease of use. This enables you to build hierarchies of links for quick access without fumbling with nested menus of Bookmarks or Favorites. MicroSurfer's straightforward tree-and-branch representation of captured links reflects the basic structure of web sites, and provides an intuitive and easily understood history of your surfing activity. You can see at a glance where you've been, how you got there and where you're going. All the sites you've visited-especially the ones you want to visit again--are instantly available in MicroSurfer with just a click of your mouse.

Easy Access to the Best of the Web

With MicroSurfer Plus you can save the links that you collect into MicroSurfer Tours to create libraries of links to your favorite pages. An unlimited number of links can be stored within a MicroSurfer Tour, and you can create as many MicroSurfer Tours as you like. You can organize your surfing by activity and project--from sites you visit daily to ongoing research projects--and reorder links within various Tours with simple drag-and-drop actions. Because MicroSurfer Tours work with both Internet Explorer and Netscape, you can create and exchange Tours with friends, colleagues and clients-no matter which browser they use, or post your Tours as HTML pages for visitors to your web site. Create a master Tour of your most-visited sites to serve as your own Personal Portal to the web-without writing HTML or building a custom start page.

Save Time Online

Stay abreast of the latest news, stock changes, sports scores, auction updates, weather forecasts, movie previews, horoscopes, etc. by letting MicroSurfer automatically download links to your most frequently visited web pages. Simply save your favorite links into MicroSurfer Tours and then later you can re-download with a single click and then step through the links one at a time.

Surf with Ease

MicroSurfer's advanced features combine and surpass the capabilities of regular and offline browsers, download utilities, Internet accelerators, bookmark managers and cache viewers, while maintaining a consistent, usable interface anyone will find easy to work with. MicroSurfer manages your cache and bookmarks better, downloads and retrieves web content faster, and displays web pages more quickly than using your browser alone. No other software product can match the fusion of MicroSurfer's innovative design with such sweeping capabilities in navigation, organization, acceleration and research applications for the Internet. MicroSurfer is a new class of web productivity software that provides you with maximum choice, convenience and control-an unbeatable combination that makes MicroSurfer the essential browsing companion for power users and novices alike.
