But Kapow does much more than iopus. It allows database connection with read and write. If its just web scrapping, Dapper can do the job for free. Looks interesting.

But IMHO Kapow is overpriced. It seems that iMacros can do the job as well in our case. Did you test this tool as well?http://www.iopus.com/imacros/web-scraping.htm Marcus We are currently looking for a web scraping solution. But IMHO Kapow is overpriced.

I haven't done much so far, just some screen scraping and retrieving data from database. So far its looking pretty good. Seems like there is a large range of information you can collect. My only concern is that if an organisation does these sort of mashups, the exploration of data is rather constraint (based on the rules of the mashup). I do feel that to complement this sort of mashup well, a good search should be in place as well to discover information outside the boundaries of the mashup. Yeah I did.
