Answer Analyst Preview

I've created a new tool that is meant to compliment Instant Article Wizard (and IAW Pro). It helps you research the answers to your questions (and help you find questions that need answering) with lightening speed.

Please post a comment with your feedback and/or suggestions. Thanks!
For those who commented asking for the launch date, I expect AA to be available in another week or two at most.

Web Data Parser adds ad-hoc data extraction and more automation!
December 26, 2008
I have to admit it. I'm completely jazzed about Web Data Parser. It's one of the most sophisticated tools I've developed to date, and I think it has a very broad range of use.
Thanks to the incredible feedback of the more than 180 comments I received on the first two blog posts about WDP, I've added an additional set of features that will blow you away:
- Ad-Hoc Data Extraction
Web Data Parser is no longer limited to extracting data from plain-old fixed-column tables. I've written a smart algorithm that figures out the "shape" of the data in a variety of kinds of tables and parses the data accordingly.
This means extracting product data from sites like ShopZilla and BizRate, or home data from Realtor.com, or search results from Google — just about anything!
You have got to watch the video to appreciate this new feature.
- Following "Next" Links
Web Data Parser now has the ability to look for "Next" links on the page and "click" those links to get to the next page of data, then extract the data from the next page, look for another "Next" link, etc. This saves you loads of time in the many instances where there is more than one page of results.
To see these features in action, watch the new video on the WDP homepage:

Web Data Parser Update: It's much more powerful!
December 18, 2008
If you saw the demo video for my initial beta version of Web Data Parser and left feedback, than you very much!
In case you're not sure what Web Data Parser is, it's a powerful tool lets you extract the data from any table on any web page and save it in a useful format (CSV for spreadsheets, TSV for databases, and as an HTML table). It also will extract the links and link text from ANY section of any page you choose.
I've added a number of great features since the initial beta video. They are:
- The ability to automate submitting forms and extracting data from the resulting page.
- The ability to select the table columns you want to export.
- The ability to save the data filtering settings you select so you can easily reuse them later.
- The ability to have WDP filter duplicate records out of the data when appending data to a file.
Ready to see these powerful features in action? Then click here to view the new video!
I hope to make the tool available next week, but at the latest it should be out the first week in January.
Please be sure to come back and leave your thoughts and ideas in a comment.
