I started a practice in 2004 of writing a post based on my exploration of the NECC trade show. I called this practice “wandering the outside aisle” because the idea was to locate a new product\/service advanced by a small company. These companies tend to purchase small floor areas around the outside of the trade show pavilion.<\/p>\n

I decided that my selection this year would be yolink<\/a>.\u00a0 Yolink provides a browser plugin that offers some improvements on the traditional search process. There are probably many different ways to use the product (actually a plugin and a space reserved for you on the company server), but the basic idea works something like this.<\/p>\n

1) Do a traditional search or load a web page with many links.<\/p>\n

2) Do a re-search by using yolink within these findings (using the original search term or new terms)<\/p>\n

\"yolink1\"<\/p>\n

Yolink will locate the links, find the search terms within the content these links access, and display this content.<\/p>\n

2) You can move to the sites by clicking a paragraph of interest (or)<\/p>\n

3) Select a resource to save and share<\/p>\n

\"yolink2\"<\/p>\n

Select from the paragraphs containing the search terms those that you wish to save<\/p>\n

4)<\/p>\n

\"yolink3\"<\/p>\n

The selected paragraphs and a thumbnail of the site will be saved to your acount (or sent to your email address or another of several other options for sharing).<\/p>\n

This all strikes me as pretty cool and potentially useful in the process of collecting online information. I sometimes wonder how processes such as these are legal – you do seem to be moving the paragraphs from a site into your possession (if I understand what is happening). I also cannot explain the business model allowing this service to be offered. I assume the copyright issue is somehow not an issue. I will leave it to the company to worry about their bottom line.<\/p>\n
