Today’s internet service enthusiasts should like to analyze their own online behavior. Do you know, which time of day you use the Internet most often, how much time you spend, and what websites you usually visit? These questions are answered by the following web application, named hooeey. The main focus is not to collect data only for statistic it has more features.

To begin, you need to download a browser toolbar (Internet Explorer and Firefox) which will monitor all sites that you visit. The browser does almost the same thing, but hooeey has much more functions. Visited sites can be assessed on a five-point scale, tagged which make them easier re-findable and the web-browse-history is web-based therefore portable. This is interesting for those who work on different computers they need to have a dashboard accessible on all PCs.

You wanted to go back to a prior visited site, but the address of it is wiped off from the head? Right now it is not working. With hooeey it is enough to remember the date and approximate time when you visited it.

One year ago when we first launched hooeey was mentioned on startups India. The new revised version is mentioned on killerstartups. They describe it as Hooeey is an application that is like a history manager, search engine, and bookmarking application all in one.

Jane’s E-Learning Pick of the Day on October 19, 2007 was hooeey . And on delicious, the hooeey homepage is already tagged by 49 people. A very overview gives this article on techmixer.

Yesterday, the first blogger picked up on hooeey and its offered services. Under the title ‘Hooeey is a Less Scary Version of Slife‘ a post on mashable.com was published. The article describes hooeey in a compact and short way. The webware blog has already chosen a title which describes hooeey the shortes way ‘De.licio.us + Google Web History = Hooeey’. Considering the title it is obvious that the question: “How does hooeey differ from Google web history?” comes up. While writing hooeeys FAQs we included this particular question already, here is the answer:

Google web history has broadly the same objectives as hooeey. It differs from hooeey in some significant ways:

Google web history only records your web activity while you are signed in to your Google Account. hooeey works without having to worry about signing in when you launch your browser, hooeey’s already at work.

Google web history does not allow the user to access browser history off-line nor does it provide the user the ability to filter off-line what links are to be stored. Every site visited is automatically stored in Google’s server.

With hooeey, the user decides what web site links are stored and when. Google web history has no way of tagging and commenting interesting web sites. hooeey allows you to tag and comment sites as you visit them or even when you are off-line!

Google web history has no way of letting you selective share links with your friends. hooeey allows you to create or import contact lists so that you can send interesting links to anyone easily. hooeey also allows you to see a list of links that you have shared with friends, in one place.

Only hooeey provides you a way to transform boring links into a visually-rich hooeey WebTour complete with title, themes and comments that are fun to create and share.
