Webaroo is basically a search firm which has launched a service that allows people to search parts of the web on their laptops or mobile devices and that too without needing a connection to the internet.
The software works by downloading sections of the internet to a portable device. Webaroo's servers then scour the internet to create relevant packs of information from which users can choose.
By selecting from a wide range of web packs and adding web sites that you frequently browse, you can choose your Web to go. As the content is stored on your laptop or device, pages load at memory speed. Also updating content is fast and easy and completely in your control.
Once you download web packs or websites to your mobile device, you can search them anytime, anywhere without a connection. You can use in subway, taxi, and also at remote locations where the internet connectivity is unavailable.
The company provides packs on topics including news,technology,blogs,sports,etc and as well as information on major cities such as India, London and New York. As mobile tchnology is growing at rapid pace,the company product will be of great demand and use.
The main disadvantage is that users will be unable to view updated information as the packs update only when a user syncs their mobile device with an internet-connected machine.
The Webaroo software is currently free to use and that firm plans to raise revenue in the future by including targeted adverts.
