GoWorld

GoWorld is a software application that launches popular websites from countries around the world. It can set up several quick access links to favorite websites and e-mail accounts.

The application is easy to install and does not have any special hardware or software requirements. Users can quickly access its features from the system tray area.

GoWorld provides a selection of over 200 websites specific to certain countries around the world. The websites are set for each country in particular and users cannot modify the lists in any way. The application also provides a quick search function, allowing a phrase or word to be searched with either one of the available search engines.

Users are able to set up various shortcuts, both local and online. For instance, there are ten individual direct links that can be customized to launch favorite websites. In addition to this, users can set up their e-mail accounts and access them with a single click. The application also offers control over the computer, as it provides 'Sleep', 'Restart' and 'Shutdown' buttons.

The program does not have a traditional help file to aid users in handling the application. Instead, it provides a number of videos that explain each of its features in great detail. There is the possibility of downloading online videos through various downloading sites.

This software is also capable of saving notes to a hidden file on the users' computers. It enables notes to be backed up and restored at any point. The 'Text box' also handles website links, allowing any phrase containing “www” to be automatically copied to the URL field and searched online.

As a final point, GoWorld is an interesting software that provides some useful features. The quick access links make the program appealing to users who require a faster way to various websites of interest. However, the application seems rough around the edges and its spartan design might keep experienced users at bay.
