Outwit Hub Firefox Web Collection Tool

Outwit Hub is an interesting Firefox add-on. It serves two purposes at the moment, information gathering and organizing. This is done by separating each website into different parts, like images, links, text and email addresses and providing different tabs for each one of them.

That provides quick access to information that the user is after by virtually removing the other parts of the website. Each item discovered can be put in the so called basket which remembers the website the item was found on and if available the direct link to the item itself.

One interesting feature is the data grabber. If you ever wanted to copy and paste tables or lists you might have encountered formatting problems in the destination application. Outwit Hub seems to be pretty solid in keeping the original structure of the data intact.

There’s a lot to explore and I only mentioned a few items that seemed useful to me. I think that the concept of separating information is pretty interesting and could make this add-on useful for some of my readers.
