I'm unconvinced. I used FURL, which saved actual web pages. Then FURL was sold to diigo and they killed all that -- actually wiping out everything I saved and just leaving the URL (like a frikkin neutron bomb acquisition!). I'm not going through that again. Good luck otherwise.

If I understood correctly they have an option to backup content to your Dropbox account.

That's exactly how I felt after trunk.ly was acquired. I thought I had the perfect system for bookmarks, only to have it all wiped out from underneath me. That said, with the Dropbox integration, this looks pretty nifty. I particularly like the library view, which is far superior to the way Evernote displays data.

  I setup birdmine.com which does basically the same thing as trunkly if youre missing it :)

Well.. you could use firefox maff extension to save webpages locally (and your local could be in the cloud, or on a remote backup). MAFF are just zipped html/css/js/img.

    Wasn't there a Firefox extension that would save every single page you visited? Disk space is cheap and plentiful now, no reason not to.

      A proxy server, such as RabbIT or scache or the OWASP ones, etc, will accomplish that goal without requiring an extension to any browser. However, I disagree with your premise. Sturgeon's Law applies here: 90% of everything is crud. I can barely remember any of the websites I visited today, let alone any reason why I would want to revisit them.

Hi. You make a good point. We've gone to great lengths to ensure this doesn't happen. One of those lengths is that you can export your entire library to Dropbox. This protects you against us failing or being stupid in other ways. S

  "This app will have access to your entire Dropbox." Uh, no. Why do you need access to my entire Dropbox? That's bad. You should request access only to /Apps/Gimmebar. (I'd submit this as feedback, but your bottom right 'feedback' thing is broken - on submit, you get a blank page.)

    Hi. You're right. That is bad. We added Dropbox support before Dropbox allowed per-directory sandboxing. We're on it (but we also have a huge number of things to do). This does have a fairly high priority. Thanks for pointing it our (and understanding). S
