The Online Information Explosion

Have you ever sat back and thought about exactly how much information is now located on the Internet? I recently read that according to a study conducted by the University of California-Berkeley the volume of information online has tripled since 2003. While everything and anything is now located on the web, it is beginning to cause major headaches in terms of a company's ability to organize and effectively use this information on a day to day basis.

This issue has led to the start up a several companies whose main objective is designing tools that enable companies to harvest all the relevant information they require. One such company, www.mozenda.com located in Salt Lake City, Utah has developed Mozenda Web Agent Builder 3.0 software that makes this task extremely manageable. The software is designed to extract precise parts of a website's content and then sort and organize this information into useable formats.

According to information from www.mozenda.com , Web Builder 3.0 allows users to automatically schedule and run these harvesting tasks. It also provides notifications when the job is complete. Other features include the ability to organize and store large quantities of data directly through Mozenda's Web Management Console.

With the amount of online content that is constantly being generated, software such as Web Builder 3.0 will become a necessity for companies to keep pace with this information explosion. For more details on this and some of their other innovations please visit www.mozenda.com
