Abstract

Reviews 3 WWW programmes that help deal with information overload. Farcast is a personalized new service in which all commands are delivered and information retrieval via email. It uses droids or electronic agents to search the full text of newsfeeds and send summaries. Quarterdeck's WebCompass is a search manager that employs multiple resources to search the Internet for relevant material based on user-defined queires. It generates summaries based on the most significant sentences in the entire document. Search results are displayed on a multi-pane interface. ForeFront Group's Web-Whacker automatically searches user-defined Web sites, organises them into categories and downloads them into a database that resides on the user's computer. The sites can then be browsed off-line
