CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Onfolio, Inc., an independent software company committed to helping students and professionals quickly find and manage important web information, today announced the general availability of Onfolio 2.0, the only complete PC solution built into the browser with integrated tools for reading
RSS news feeds, collecting and organizing online content and publishing to email, weblogs and web sites. Built for people who rely on the web as a research platform at work, school and home, Onfolio 2.0 combines four areas of value- efficiently keeping up with new information on topics of interest, capturing all types of web content into a searchable database on a local PC, organizing web research thoroughly without slowing down the pace of that research, and sharing information publicly or privately as it is gathered.
Onfolio 2.0 builds upon earlier versions of the product by enhancing the capturing, organizing and sharing capabilities to deliver improved productivity at all points in the web research process from initial discovery of information to its eventual use in documents, emails, web sites and published works. The addition of full support for the Firefox browser, an integrated RSS reader, and the ability to collaborate with teams using shared collections makes Onfolio the ideal tool for individuals and workgroups that need to improve their ability to capitalize on the increasingly valuable sources of information found online from traditional news sites to blogs to powerful business and academic databases such as PubMed, EBSCO, Westlaw, LexisNexis and others.
"As a biomedical researcher, I need to stay on top of a broad range of scientific and trade publications," explains Ben Miller, Associate Professor of Dermatology, Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rochester Medical Center. "Onfolio 2.0 allows me to organize scholarly publications and other information by project, and is invaluable when I'm writing up our own research or preparing a grant proposal."
New features in Onfolio 2.0 include:
--Integrated, fully-featured RSS feed reader
--Complete integration with the Mozilla Firefox browser
--Workgroup collaboration using shared Onfolio Collections
--More flexible publishing options including structured web reports and blog posting
--Complete website capture, multi-part article capture and silent capture
--Microsoft Outlook integration for email capture
--Searching in Onfolio for documents and link targets by content
--Searching for items by properties, and save searches as folders
--Integration with Thomson ResearchSoft's EndNote 8
"The web was originally conceived as a place for scientists to connect and share ideas. This vision has only recently started to reach its potential with the growth of the two-way web, a concept that extends beyond scientists to all types of people who consume and create information," explained JJ Allaire, CEO of Onfolio. "We designed Onfolio 2.0 to help people more efficiently participate in that two-way process by making it easier for them to find relevant information as it appears on the web, integrate that information into their own work, and then share the results with others."
"As partner at an investment banking firm, I desperately needed an integrated tool to help solve three key problems. First, I needed a way to organize and share data related to our investment banking projects from web searches, emails and various other sources. Second, I wanted a way to keep current on various industry trends, which I accomplished by subscribing to various relevant blogs through Onfolio's feed reader. Lastly, I wanted a way to feed my own blog in order to seamlessly and effortlessly communicate information to others that may be valuable to them," said Peter Phelps, Partner, Cobblestone Advisers LLC. "Onfolio 2.0 is a major breakthrough for providing the integrated, state-of-the-art functionality I needed to accomplish these objectives. The software has boosted my productivity and level of organization dramatically."
