Webtop
Webtop is a desktop environment which exposes the content of
a document. It is compatible with the html, word documents,
and pdf documents. While browsing the internet, webtop exposes
the inward, outward and content-related links to the current
document. Webtop also allows for such linking to be created
within the local environment and exposes them appropriately.
Webtop is currently being modified to optionally utilize the
Internet Archive as opposed to the active web as it's primary
resource.
Timeline
Search
The timeline search is an engine designed to expose how the
focus of a society changes over time. Entering a subject retreives
all of the relevant pages for that subject spread out over
a period of time. This tool offers a very unique and interesting
perpective into a society based on its responses to a given
topic, how these responses change, and what prompts these
changes.
Waybackup
The Waybackup machine is a tool designed to provide a backup
of a lost website. Often, a website will be removed from a
server without the owner of the site having a backup copy.
This tool will retrieve the latest version of each page in
the website, create the directory structure associated with
it, and copy the data into the directory.
Popular
FTP Sites
This tool retrieves the 10,000 most popular FTP sites. The
tool parses the archived html files searching for hard-coded
ftp links and ranks them according to number of occurences.
Using this tool, it was determined that the most popular ftp
site is an online family tree maker.
