Webaroo launched “Wikislice” which has main aim to give a easy way to browse and search wikipedia and take the part (slice) of wikipedia offline which you like. Based on the popularity and completeness of the content on Wikipedia, Webaroo, a company headquartered in Bellevue, Washington decided to come up with WikiSlice. It is mentioned above, the idea behind WikiSlice is to enable to extract or slice a part of wealth of content available on Wikipedia into smaller, downloadable parts. WikiSlice gives more than extract information, as well displays it  in a very much more readable format compared to the default presentation on Wikipedia. Hence, WikiSlice seems as a ‘skin’ or a new interface for the infomation contained in Wikipedia. To use WikiSlice, simply type the subject you are interested in into the search bar provided and it will rapidly provide you with all relevant entries about your term. The user interface of WikiSlice automatically locates topics and subtopics related to the content you are currently browsing. These are then displayed prominently along sidebars, making it extremely easy and effective to browse the content at greater depths. The most prominent feature of WikiSlice is that users can download the entire set of articles related to the topic of their choosing, provided that the number of articles does not exceed 2000. The WikiSlice interface automatically displays a “Download” button below the count of the articles related to the main topic, When the number of articles is within this limit.
