I created this app for visiting multiple sites you visit daily from one place:
Give it a try.
No strategy here. I though facebook is pretty much ubiquitous. May be I can provide a way to login through twitter as well. I am just asking for basic level of access for FBConnect.
You can simply scroll through the websites. I prefer it that way. BTW you can also access tabs on the left.
Sample page with pages added : http://www.morningtabs.com/HQIRwQaB
In morning after waking up there is whole list of websites I have to check. I have built this tool to make it easy to do that.
It lets you create list of websites to visit and creates a single page out of those websites.
Now I don't miss to visit important websites.
Please let me know what you think.
Would you use it to visit websites regularly?
Thanks... I will try to add customization for that later.
You are welcome!
I like the game.
I also played with browser history to create something more useful http://bsearch.heroku.com/ i.e. access other search engines by clicking back button while on Google.
I made this tool for my personal use in last few days. I think many of you will also find it useful. Specially StackOverflow, blekko or such exotic search engine users.
Didn't got much response here but just few days ago I posted my MVP for this same concept.
You can see my browsing in here...
Thanks for your feedback.
>The playback seemed to show the current version of the target pages
The way recording and playback happens, only URL of visited pages is recorded, so you can understand the reason why it was showing latest pages.
> the scrolling and cursor playback weren't aligned
I think it should work. If you mean playback did not show it correctly, then I will look into it.
> What sort of uses are you hoping to enable?
I plan on letting users record their browsing session as a demo or educational purpose. I haven't finalized how to best use it. What would you use it for?
This is my latest attempt at start-up...
You can also create channel for yourself. By going to http://www.sess.in/
You can record your browsing and let all channel viewers see it. Requirement is that you need to use Firefox, IE8 or Chrome 8-
Waiting for your feedback.

But what if you don't have talent to know how to be passionate about something? :)
Right amount of talent in right environment drives passion that further hones the talent. And the cycle continues.Somewhere down the line you have so much passion that right environment doesn't matter.

Although there are many apps that let you keep list of things (workflowy, thingist, notational velocity for MAC) it lets you access lists right from search box.
With special syntax (<list name>.<item to add>) you can add items to existing list. Or access existing lists with <list name>. This <list name><dot><item> syntax is optional after first use.
Using it as default search engine is privacy safe and doesn't increase search latency.
Hope you like it. Please leave your feedback.
Drop area need to be full window. At present it is just one rectangle.
I dropped 2 files and figured it out for third file.
Edit: Also it not immediately obvious that clicking on file copies URL pointing to that file.
Shameless plug. I use my own app http://shodhel.com/
Here I just type "log.did some work" in search box. And it adds "did some work" to log
You might want to try it.
I found this useful. At least, I can give it a try for some time.
"I'll probably be voted down for this but .."
Best way to polarize people. When you say that "I might get down-voted", people agreeing with you are forced to up-vote.
Edit : Wording
I like overall look and feel. Also appreciate the fact that this must be hard to grasp in limited time but as such I am not target user.
Good work.
As a prospective customer why don't you get mad at Facebook?
But why do scientist should care who wins. Natural laws/evolution will decide the winner. After all everything is governed by rules of nature, and scientist is theoretically just supposed to observe it.
It asks only for email while signing up but asks to loin with either Email/Username.
Interface looks good but even average geek will not use it for more than few days let alone average user. How do you make sure users keep using it for long time?
But what if you access DDG as usual but access Google on clicking on back button. You know you need to access Google sometimes. That customization is planned. Thanks for you feedback.

These kind of weekend projects make me feel insignificant. But then I see that author is on Chrome UI team so he is familiar with technology required (App Engine, Chrome HTML5).
Without that context it is just magic(and even then idea and implementation is great). But I think there must be something many of us can do in a weekend that will look like magic. But it was possible because of months/years of experience.
Orkut has already that feature in recent roll-out
