Metabrowsing - Web Metabrowsing Applications

Web Metabrowsing Applications

Quickbrowse was one of the first Web-based metabrowsing applications, enabling users to combine multiple pages into one vertical, continuously scrollable page for faster viewing. Onepage.com and Octopus.com offered more sophisticated systems for combining not just entire Web pages but bits and pieces of different pages into a new "combo page". Octopus received more than $11.4 million in venture capital funding. Onepage received $25 million in venture capital funding. Sybase acquired Onepage in 2002 changing the service from an end user oriented business model to an enterprise-driven concept. In the end Onepage was terminated. Calltheshots.com was acquired by Akamai and then also disappeared, as did Katiesoft and iHarvest.com.
