SeenBefore: A search engine for what you have seen before

"SeenBefore stores your information securely in the cloud from your work or home computers.

So no matter where you read it you can still search for it even when your browsing history has been deleted."

Erm...

I think it's a good idea but I think many people would need convincing on the security front.

Looks useful. I've been well aware that google tracks everything I search for but I still don't like it.

"40% of searches online are people simply looking for what they have already seen before." - How did they calculate this statistic?

How is this different from Google Search History?

Beat me to it! This was something I had been planning to build on my own for a while, but didn't get around to . Congrats!

Whenever I have tech discussions with friends I would recall something mentioned in a article I read via HN. But it would take me a whole lot of effort to get that link. Oftentimes I simply couldn't get hold of the link even after an hour of searching.

Please do get the Firefox extension out. Would love to use it. Also, please do make sure the extensions/addons are stable. Have been facing problems with Annotary's extensions [1], for instance.

By the way, do you have a crawler fetch the link content or do you send it from the user's browser?
