A new way to record your travels on the web
Do you ever remember a site you went to by it’s content or design but can’t remember the name of it?
Unless you’re very organized your bookmarks or favorites list are probably all but useless to help you find that site again.
Enter WebMynd.
It’s a Firefox extension which allows you to keep a virtual gallery of pages you’ve visited. Kind of like a cross between Tivo and the Waybackmachine.
The result is a gallery of screenshots of sites that you visited. The images show up in a slideshow that you can zoom through, or a grid you can quickly scan to find just the site you’re thinking of.
The gallery is not stored on your machine, it’s stored on the WebMynd servers, so it’s easily retrievable wherever you are.
Will it keep every site you’ve ever been to?
Nope, you can turn it on or off or specify sites that it doesn’t need to record, so your journeys to the job banks need never be recorded.
What’s the catch? Obviously they aren’t going to store your surfing history forever. WebMynd archives sites you’ve visited for a week, then you start over. If you want to record them for longer, you can et a paid account and keep your sites visited for 6 months ($10) or 1 year ($20).
All in all it’s a deal if you’re doing research for a project and don’t want to keep bookmarking everything, but don’t need the links long term.
