hooeey–the ideal web browser history application
We are reproducing a snippet from an interview done by the Guardian with Amir Nathoo, CEO of WebMynd, a start-up in the web browser history space (which we mentioned in an earlier posting). On competition, Amir Nathoo, has this to say:
“Del.icio.us has a large social element but there are very few visual cues. Delicious is established in the bookmarking business but they are operating on a tired platform that has not evolved. Zotero is geared to the academic community for research purposes and Hooey, despite its poor interface, has much of the functionality we are looking to build into WebMynd - specifically sharing, sorting, and analytics. (emphasis ours)
“Furl is excessively labour intensive, and takes users away from their natural browsing flow. They do save images of pages like we do but data entry is very tedious.
“There’s also Iterasi, which allows dynamic pages to be saved and “notarised” which is similar to the way we save pages. They do not save every page by default, and there are pop ups and manual data entry. The company has not yet launched a public version but have a demo video on their site.”
From the look of things, hooeey has set the benchmark in the browser history application space.
