Publisher's description of Pathway

From Dennis Lorson: Pathway's aim is to help you discover Wikipedia without having to worry whether you'll have enough time to read everything you want, or if you'll get lost. It accomplishes this by presenting you with a graphical "network" representation of your visited article pages. A node represents an article, a connection between two nodes means, of course, that you've gone from the first article to the second one. You can save the network you've created to disk and recover it. This way, you're able to keep track of everything: what you've looked at, how you get there end just how it all fits together. Pathway has a small but useful feature set, is easy to use and tries not to get in the way. Written in Cocoa, it offers the elegance you'd expect from a native Mac application. Version 1.0.6 now plays nice with Leopard.

Editor's review of Pathway

Wikipedia is well known by most Internet users as a destination for information on just about anything. The only problem with all that info is it becomes increasingly difficult to focus on one thing with so many ways to seek out new tangential info. Pathways offers a graphical network method for mapping your progress through Wikipedia so interesting posts are always within reach. We really like the multi-paned Cocoa interface which shows a map of researched topics making it easy to find stories we don't have time to read at the moment. If you're a Wikipedia browser, check out this free program to really take advantage of all the information Wikipedia offers.

  Pathway

  Great alternative Browser

  Pros: Very stable and easy to use. Can't beat the price. Basically it's a suped up history trail in graphical form. Pretty clever and useful for visual folks.

  Cons: Better suited to larger monitors. Since the spider-web-history diagram takes up a chunk of space, and the wiki page you're reading needs a large chunk of space, a smaller monitor means compromising somewhere. Have only use it for a few days, so can't be sure of everything.... but one thing I wish it could do is integrate with standard browsers.
