AlternativeTo is a website which lists alternatives to web-based software, desktop computer software, and mobile apps, and sorts the alternatives by various criteria, including the number of registered users who have clicked the "Like" button for each of them on AlternativeTo. Users can search the site to, for instance, find better alternatives to an application they are using or previously have used, or free alternatives, perhaps choosing a free web application (cloud computing) which does not require any installation and can be accessed from any browser. == Differences between AlternativeTo and other software directory websites == Unlike a number of other software directory websites, the software is not arranged into categories, but each individual piece of software has its own list of alternatives, permitting a more tailored listing approach. However, users can also search by tag to find software, which offers an alternative way of finding related software. Users can also narrow their search by focusing on particular platforms and license types (such as "free for non-commercial use"). AlternativeTo does not require listed alternatives to be ''notable'' to have a full entry on the site. AlternativeTo lists basic information such as platform and license type at the top of each entry, but does not have comparison tables listing software features side-by-side. AlternativeTo allows anyone to register and suggest new alternatives, or to update the information held about existing entries. Suggestions and alterations are reviewed before being made publicly visible. Registration can be done via Facebook Connect or OpenID, both of which obviate the need to create a new password for the site.〔 As AlternativeTo is itself a web application, it even has a page for alternatives to itself.〔(AlternativeTo Alternatives and Similar Software - AlternativeTo.net )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AlternativeTo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
