Scouter is the Mac way to connect to Scour Exchange. Scour Exchange is a way to share files with people across the Internet, so Scouter can help you find all sorts of things, depending on what people are sharing at any given moment. Scouter is geared towards finding music, movies and images. There's been this gap on the Internet for a while, where you have these big search engines that can help you find web pages and text by searching for words, but you get kind of lost when you are looking for something like video. There are A LOT of examples.
People share all kinds of things.
If you're a fan of some celebrity, you can find all sorts of non-printed photos that fans have taken, scanned, and now share with everyone. Scouter is given away freely. I started working on Scouter because the Mac needed this. I never thought I would take it as far as I did. I kept expecting someone else to do it first, but no one ever did.
