WebNotes™ Launches Professional Web Annotation Research Tool
Cambridge, Mass. – May 18, 2009 –
WebNotes™, a technology innovator of online research tools, today announced
the public availability of WebNotes Pro, a web-based highlighting and sticky note
research tool for professionals, corporations and educational institutions. The
hosted solution allows users to compile information from multiple online sources
faster and more effectively than other products, and is available for a free trial
at http://www.webnotes.net.
WebNotes allows users to add multi-colored highlights and sticky notes to web pages
as they browse the web, while organizing their notes into folders for later reference.
Annotated content can be easily shared with colleagues and clients via email or
permalink, or through automatically generated reports in PDF or HTML format. WebNotes
Pro also includes a groundbreaking PDF annotation system which provides users with
full support for annotating, organizing and sharing PDF documents.
“WebNotes Pro is a streamlined professional research offering that can revolutionize
the way people collect, organize and share valuable information on the Internet,”
commented Ryan Damico, CEO and co-founder of WebNotes. “Going beyond citation management,
social annotation, clipping and bookmarking services, our solution was specifically
designed for professionals who need to easily organize, distill and share information
from an abundance of online resources and PDF documents.”
WebNotes can be installed as a toolbar or as a bookmarklet, and supports all major
web browsers and operating systems. Hosted user accounts securely store users’ annotated
content and may be accessed from any internet-connected computer. User annotations
are private by default, avoiding unnecessary social networking features that hinder
productivity.
"Information sharing for research has become noticeably easier using WebNotes,”
commented Dan Morrill, CS/IS program director at City University of Seattle. “Since
using the tool, we have saved 60% to 75% of our time depending on the task, and
the quality of our research has vastly improved.”
In addition to its Pro accounts, the company also offers a Group Solutions version
for schools and small businesses that includes a dedicated web address, customized
site branding and built-in user administrator tools. In addition to City University
of Seattle, other organizations benefiting from WebNotes include those in marketing,
publishing and legal industries. For information on how organizations are making
