Timelope was a recent presenter at Live Pitch 2008 in Seattle. If you want to keep track of your browser history either publicly or privately, then the TimeLope Firefox plugin is for you. Want to share your browsing information with others, or browse endless links? If so, then this is right up your alley.
Timelope
- Business Category: Tech Startup
- Founder: Anders Conbere and Aviel Ginzburg
- Inspiration for Product/Service: It started out as a way to let people browse alongside someone else, and morphed into more of a social service as we progressed along and found that the more engaging features were those that let us interact with other users of the service.
- Target Customer/Audience: Web 2.0 power users, and the online businesses targeting them.
- Synopsis of Product / Service: Timelope is a web service that let’s users share, annotate and search their browser history.
- Live Demo at NPost event a raging success
- Upcoming Live Demo!
- Performance Issues - Being Resolved (Kinda)
- New updates coming down the line
- Back up after a long day!
- What we did and what we are doing.

Umm.. NTY! My browsing history is my privacy. I don’t want some company giving out this information to other companies for their advertising purposes. Imagine, they can go into your personal website because they have your history of visiting your own website and BOOM all your contact information (or worse) is at their fingertips.

Browser history? Only in workplaces in my opinion, not in the home whatsoever. What happens if a hacker comes in…you know? Only sell it for businesses with several computers…and I mean SEVERAL!

It definately shouldn’t be public. Where you go and what you do on your own computer should only be your business. Now, if it is on a public computer then it should be allowed because your using a computer that isn’t personaly yours.
