Product Description:

URLs are hard to remember. Web browsers take time to launch. Web services are scattered across the vastness of the web. Browser bookmark management is an oxymoron. The web browser was in many ways one step forward and two steps back. Watson solves these problems and consequently reduces your time-to-everything on the web.
A Pioneering Desktop Interface to the Web.
We hid the URL address bar and you'll thank us for it! The dreaded browser back and reload buttons? We left them out too! With most Watson plug-ins, web content auto-updates without the pointless page re-rendering of a browser!
Is finding a site or page in your bookmark list an exercise in futility? In Watson, descriptively named icons in a highly-configurable toolbar replace byzantine bookmarks.
Keep your favorite, standards-compliant web browser though! While some Watson plug-ins are self-contained, others use your web browser as a helper app for accomplishing certain tasks.
Aqua Experience.
Watson's a play right out of the Aqua UI guidelines! From the configurable toolbar, to space-saving drawers; from tabbed panels to QuickTime playback; from progressive display to live window resizing, Watson's user experience is unparalleled. Visually striking and functionally productive, you're going to love spending time using it!

What's new in this version:

  • In the Image Search tool, you cannot double-click on an image thumbnail to open it. Use the “Open Selected Item”

Watson ReviewGood but too biased to the US - Version: 1.7.4, 9/26/2003 03:14AM PST

Good product but it is too biased towards the US. Sherlock 2 allows international developers to "localise' channels and Watson should do the same.
