Altercept has released version 2.0 of The Easy Bee, a Windows productivity tool that easily downloads, manages, and displays web content extracted from the collection of web sites that you choose, including password-protected sites. With a minimum of effort, investors can access current information about stock, bond, and financial instruments, business people can maintain a watch on competitors` web pages, students can monitor breaking news about topics that they`re studying, and sports fans can get the latest news about their favorite players and teams.
The Easy Bee makes it easy for users to record and play back its unique web macros. Simply show the program how to enter user id`s, passwords, and any repetitive data required in simple or complex online forms, and The Easy Bee lets you play back these macros with a single keystroke. The program lets you ignore pop-up ads, cookies, and other distractions, and concentrate on the form filling and button clicking operations necessary to getting to the heart of important web sites automatically.
There`s no need to capture a lot of unnecessary information from your target web sites. You can easily specify the images, tables, and text that are important, and The Easy Bee will grab only that information. The program will resize the data, and build customized printer-friendly web pages for you on the fly.
No programming skills are needed to train The Easy Bee to capture the crucial information that you need. Simply indicate what information you wish to retrieve, how often you`d like The Easy Bee to visit the Internet and capture updated information, and what format you`d like to use to display your information. The program will remember your instructions, and silently capture the information that you require while you`re performing other computing tasks. The Easy Bee`s multi-tasking technology lets you grab information from many web sites simultaneously.
With its emphasis on security, The Easy Bee automatically locks all macros that operate on password-protected pages, hiding the gathered content and preventing tampering. These private files are encrypted, blocking unauthorized people from gaining access. A simple global password can be used to unlock this private content.
Whether you`re an investor who wants to get detailed, personal financial updates every afternoon, a business person who wants to stay on top of industry news, or a home user who wants to keep track of web sites without spending hours typing id`s and passwords, The Easy Bee provides the tools that you need.
The Easy Bee is designed for Windows 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP and 2003. It requires Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.
