I’m Samantha and I’ll be your driver from here on out. If you’re just now joining us, Dan Oshinsky founded this blog in 2012 and passed the reins to me last week. I’m a data and investigations freelancer, and I’m traveling around Europe as I write this (current location: Vilhelmina, Sweden), so I’ll keep the posts short and sweet for now.
Our first tool is OutWit Hub, a free downloadable app that finds all the links, images, text and other elements and pulls them out of a webpage.
I used it on previous TFR posts to find tools that Dan linked to, then exported those links into a Google spreadsheet. So now I’ve got a little database of tools Dan already covered, and I can avoid wasting everybody’s time, except when I attempt jokes. (That was one right there.)
OutWit Hub can be really useful for anyone who wants to obtain text, links, pictures, contact info or any other piece of a website. I first heard about it from Scott Klein and Michelle Minkoff, who have a list of some other great tools here.
If you have any questions about OutWit, the newsletter, or whether the sun does indeed stay up all night when you’re this far north, shoot me an email at samanthasunne@gmail.com. See you all next week!
