Hi,

Anyone knows about the easiest way of collecting text/info from another site and show the results on your own page?

Thank you,

Unfortunately I don't think I want to answer that. For what reason do you want to "acquire" someone else's copyrighted material? I believe I am on the same level as the rest of the webmasters on TWF, and would rather not answer that question, unless you give us a very constructive reason for wanting to do this.

Of course I don't mean to steal any copyrighted material.
I was just curios about how it is done the easiest way.
If I would use it to collect info from another page I would ask for permission first.

There are many ways to use this such as.

meta search
link popularity check
position ranking in search engines
news
check different countries currency

and many more.
