It hooks up to the Amazon database for its searches, although there's nothing stopping you from adding you own stuff.
The features highlighted on its website are:
- Turn your webcam into a barcode scanner (sounds impressive! no webcam to try...)
- Lightning speed database (not exactly lightning, but fast nonetheless)
- Track who borrowed your stuff (nice! provided I remember who borrowed what prior to this...)
- Print beautiful catalogs (interesting, those I prefer to save on ink ;)
- Share your collection online (I'll have to get some friends to try this)
- Attention to detail (yes, it looks prefer good, supports custom skins too)
- Import existing collection (from a couple of applications, most notably MS Excel)
- Extensible & Flexible (claims it is designed to support any collection)
Other stuff not mentioned include a built-in browser for their forums and the ability to edit item details (and reset, based on Amazon) as well as adding your own notes. A feature I found to be very very useful is being able to specify custom actions to items, such as creating a command that automatically fires up a playlist or opens up the PDF of a book. Another thing I like is that I actually like the cheeky tone they used for their website. Nice touch, hehe.
All-in-all, I'm quite impressed. I'm gonna keep it around and catalogue my collection of stuffs using it. I'll probably merge all my other mechanisms for keeping track of stuff into this!
