eSobi is a powerful Internet application that comprises several information management tools designed for your business, educational, or everyday needs. It embeds an RSS reader, podcast receiver, meta-search engine, and data library.

The tool integrates special tabs for each feature of the program, and you may easily switch between them, namely News, Podcast, Search, and Library. There’s also support for a help manual in case you want to find out more about each dedicated parameter.

You can opt for one of the three viewing modes (simple, standard, or side by side) and hide or reveal several features from the main panel (e.g. Channel Subscription, Item Tools, Playlist Tools, Search Tools).

eSobi gives you the possibility to add RSS channels, manage your news channels by adding, moving, renaming, or deleting folders, refresh the information with just one click, as well as import/export news channels from/to OPML file format.

The articles are listed according to title, date/time, and source, while the new items, which are unread, are bolded. Plus, you may sort the articles by title, date/time, or source in an ascending or descending order.

Other notable characteristics worth being mentioned enable you to look for a specific word in order to filter your RSS contents for related articles, switch between three different reading modes (full page, summary, and text-only), and read news in an offline mode by downloading the contents of articles to a location from your computer.

What’s more, you can make use of a built-in web browser for going to the previous or next page, stopping or refreshing the loading process, creating a list with your favorite websites, as well as highlighting keywords when browsing news contents.

The tool lets you print or send news via email, activate the automatic monitoring feature for checking any articles that contain user-defined keywords, and purge outdated news.

eSobi empowers you to add podcast channels, import/export data from/to OPML file format, sort episodes by different criteria, such as title, date/time, source, duration, or download time, download podcast episodes for offline viewing, create playlists, and check out detailed reports about the space occupied by podcast files and available free space. It makes use of Windows Media Player’s functions in order to stream the media content.

Thanks to the built-in meta-search engine, you can look for various subjects on the Internet using well-known services, such as Google, MSN, Yahoo!, and others. You can select the search engines that you want to use. It is important to mention that the search is cross-referenced, so duplicate results are eliminated and displayed into a single list.

The application lets you save interesting articles for future reference, editing, exporting, or printing purposes. You can check out the “My Clipped Documents” panel for viewing all the saved articles, make use of the editing mode for modifying documents, import information from PPT, XLS, DOC, PDF, TXT, HTML, RDF, PPS, or other file format, and export documents to HTML file format.

ESobi mixes up a user-friendly interface with a rich suite of configuration settings for helping you read news from your favorite websites, store podcasts, perform search operations on the Internet using multiple engines, as well as save, annotate, manage, and share your findings with the aid of a centralized library.
