Product Description:

An Innovative Utility that Bypasses the Web Browser: Watson is a time-saving "Swiss Army Knife" that packs nineteen time-saving, productivity-enhancing interfaces to the most important web content and services.

URLs are hard to remember. Web services are scattered across the vastness of the web. Bookmark management is an oxymoron. Watson eliminates these problems and reduces your time-to-everything on the web -- Watson makes getting information from the Web simple and straightforward.

Much faster than Sherlock 3, with nearly twice as many useful tools, including Google Searching, you'll never need to launch Sherlock again!.

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