SwiftRiver

SwiftRiver is a free, open source platform for filtering and processing large amounts of information. In particular, it can gather and filter data from common web sources such as email, Twitter or RSS. It also enables users to define 'buckets' according to their own criteria rather than relying on, for example, the information's social media popularity status. Utilizing a combination of filters and buckets, users create 'rivers' of data populated by their chosen sources. Developer Ushahidi has made all code available for general access via Github, though a custom, full-service, hosted version is available for a fee by contacting the company directly.

Tabello

Tabello is a research tool that makes it easy to extract table data from PDFs to Excel. It is optimized for PDFs where tables are found on only a few pages (e.g. annual reports, research reports, academic papers) of a document. With Tabello you simply drag a selection box around the table you want to convert and it instantly becomes ready to paste into Excel. As Tabello comes as a Chrome extension you don't need to download/upload files but continue to work in your browser, making it always available.
