Web Link Captor is occasionally useful!

mouser:
Just wanted to thank myself for writing Web Link Captor -- used it today and it performed beautifully.

Since there aren't more then 3 people on this planet who have used this tool, allow me to explain the use I found for it today.

I have a list of movies playing in theaters that i wanted to share with a friend who is visiting -- so they could check them out and see which ones they might want to see.

Now I could send them the plain text list but then they've have to go do a lot of annoying searching.

So instead I pasted the list into Web Link Captor, added the term "movie" to the post processing, and clicked GO.

In under a minute I had a nicely formatted html email with the top 3 links to find out about each of the movies (typically to their imdb page and wikipedia entry).

Thank you WLC!

I could have also added the term "review" to the searches to find links to reviews.

Since I can ask WLC to output in BBCODE, let me show you a real example of making a nice page with links to reviews.  For good measure I've added more movies and asked for top 5 links for each:

NOTE:
If making lists of movie reviews was something I did often, the smart thing to do would be to configure WLC to bias the movie review sites I find the most useful; then i could list just one or two review links for each movie and i'd know they were top quality reviews.

Ath:
But when are you going to take your friend to the movies? :huh: With that whopping list of reviews to read, there's no time left to go to a theater and actually watch one of them :P

IOW: WLC is waaay to useful!

jgpaiva:
This looks great! You should add this post as an "example of use" in web link captor's page.

jgpaiva:
Also, here's something I haven't understood:
I could have also added the term "review" to the searches to find links to reviews.

Would it do a different search, or can you only append terms to the search query? I'm thinking it would be useful to have something like this:
- movie wikipedia page
- movie imdb page
- movie rotten tomatoes page
- top scoring reviews in <your favorite search engine)
But this would have to be 4 different searches using different search terms, since a search for "batman begins wikipedia imdb rotten tomatoes reviews" doesn't really get a very useful result :P
Another alternative would be to just run WLC 4 times and then somehow merge the results, I guess :)
