Privacy concerns aside, it seems like a really useful service. How do you handle page versioning? Do you take a new snapshot every time I visit - and do you keep the most recent version or can I look at/search through previous versions? Ranking pages by how much time you spend on them seems great from a productivity standpoint. From a search standpoint, often the pages I want to go back and find ex post facto are the ones that I only looked at for a few seconds. So maybe it's still helpful? Yet to be seen! A little feedback on the page copy. Any time someone claims they have "proprietary algorithms" it sets off alarms. It's empty jargon, and sounds scammy. Your headline "Say Goodbye to Bookmarking Webpages" is good because it speaks to people who already use bookmarking services and find them lacking. But "Imagine never having to re-google what you had googled before" reaches a broader audience and also speaks to the actual problem they have. |

We take a snapshot every time you visit the page. We don't version the page yet. Do you have a specific use case for a feature like that?
There's a very strong correlation between time spent and usefulness of the article. We index all articles, even the ones you spend less time on, so when you search, a few page scrolls get you to the link you need. That said, time spent is a heuristic, its useful in a lot of cases, but not all, we'll have to see.
"Proprietary algorithms", we have a patent pending on how we sort and filter data
We'll think of a catchphrase around ""Imagine never having to re-google what you had googled before"
