Intelligent Web companion (IWC): Personalized web surfing tool

World Wide Web is an essential component for day to day computer users. One of the common problems that most web surfers face is searching or the same piece of information multiple times in the web. Web browsers support bookmarking important web sites for future use. This might depend on the machine and the user may need to find the same kind of information in another machine. Redundant search on the same piece of information wastes the computer surfer's time and resources. To address the above mentioned issues the authors have developed an Intelligent Web companion (IWC), a web surfing tool to allow users to have more personalized web browsing experience independent from the location, computer and the web browser. IWC is a web based application which allows each user to create own profile and surf the web. IWC is capable of tracking the user's browsing pattern and based on tracked information IWC provides important sets of services to the web surfer.
