Hello to this board,
Tonight while reading the latest copy of the Online Investor Source Book, I read a reference to the browsemaster product. I went to the www.browsermaster.com site and found that the product was 'discontinued'. After a little searching on www.google.com I found this message board.
I felt I needed to provide my background of experience about this product before I mention the purpose of this post. I would like to state here that I would not have posted here if the product was not 'discontinued'.
I have been developing a product with capabilities that sound much like the browsermaster has/had. I have not heard of this product before tonight, nor have I seen or tried to use the browermaster before. Even though the browsermaster is no longer being developed, I still felt somewhat uncomfortable posting here about my product. But after reading most of the posts on this board, I felt that some of you may benefit from the product that I am developing, and may want to participate in a beta test. The product is at a stage where I could really use some input from parties interested in a product in this category.
Briefly: The product is call the 'Diligent Dingo' or DDingo - "Trained for Due Diligence". I classify the product as a Custom web browser to assist in financial research. The goal of the Diligent Dingo is to provide a tool to speed and enhance online investment research. The product currently provides the following features:
1) Fast download of message boards by ticker from Silicon Investor, Yahoo, Motley Fool, and Raging Bull message boards for quick viewing.
2) Message board filtering of unwanted posters.
3) Configuration of a favorite poster 'Pack' filter to display only the messages of favorite message authors. This feature provides a 'Virtual Message Board" on heavily posted message boards.
4) Automatic fetching of charts by ticker from the yahoo and big charts web sites.
5) Automatic download of research web pages for stock ticker research. Currently over 20 resources.
6) Automatic download of market research pages. These research web pages are also user configurable. Meaning if there is a web resource that you check all the time, you can configure it to be fetched.
7) Three different modes of fetching messages and other resources. One time research fetch, a scheduled fetch by day of week and time of day, and on a monitor level configurable to a minute resolution.
8) Configurable sound effects to notify the user of the arrival of a new message or news item.
9) Automatic program version synchronization and updates. This feature permits the DDingo to be easily and speedily updated. When any of the web resources change their location or layout, the DDingo can be updated without the need to update the entire program.
10) Edgar filings fetching and a portfolio quote monitor are soon to be added, as well as a more sophisticated 'Outlook' like interface.
I'm sorry this post is so long but I felt I needed to explain myself and describe the program. If you want to beta test it at this point, feel free to fetch it from www.axiomedia.com. I currently have no registration, or gather any personal information at all. If you do download, and test it, I would greatly appreciate any feedback. email diligentdingo@diligentdingo.com or fill out the voluntary registration page. This is a windows only program for win95/98/NT and requires that you have IE4.0 or later installed.
