Download/HomepageCitizen 1 Internet Tool is an extraordinary piece
of software. Ever since I first got online I have been looking
for something that worked this well. I have found hundreds of
search engines, metasearch engines and sites. I have read about
and used dozens of these and always have to go somewhere else for
another piece of the puzzle. For the business community, both
small and large, the buck stops here. For a measly 4MB of hard
drive, plus a 10MB cache, you can have exactly what the company
says: "Citizen 1 is the most efficient Internet Tool for
analyzing stocks, planning trips, retrieving news, and
more." Setup is extremely easy and there is an online
tutorial from the help button. After free registration at the
site you download and install the program. What you see is a
discrete GUI for the internet. There are three main categories.
To get started, click on either the Business, Reference or
Personal buttons from the tool bar. Several new buttons appear
according to which of these you have chosen. Pick the one you are
interested in, and select a database from the left window. Then
enter your query on the line in the right window. Hit submit and
the information is gathered. When it is finished, select View
Page and your browser's window appears with the data ready to use
or further refine. You will sometimes have to register at new
sites, but most that I have gone to are free. There is the
occasional site where reports cost from $1.00 to $5.00 or so and
some are generated while you wait.
One of the most useful features of this tool is an excellent
description of each resource, written by Citizen 1 editors which
appears in the right window along with some tips on how to use
the resource, i.e. which boolean operators etc. work best. You
can do several searches at once or search and read at the same
time.
Why would such fine software be free you ask? Well, this has no
ads but the company does have a different version, Citizen 1
Healthcare Internet Tool, that is a subscription service and they
are using the free version to show how powerful the subscription
can be. My guess is that most any health care facility would be
the better for using the service. If you are in business or want
to be, go get Citizen 1 for that edge everyone needs to succeed,
fast information access.
