WebMynd: DVR Function for Web History

January 22, 2009

WebMynd just released OneRiot Search, an extension for the Firefox browser that displays results from social media right along with Google results. See a picture here. The OneRiot list is down the right side, inserted above the Sponsored Links. It’s customizable: You have the ability to turn off the search, and you can block sites from being searched. WebMynd also works “like a ‘DVR for the web’ by setting it to record and search your browsing history.” You can keep track of sites or have OneRiot take and store snapshots of where you’ve been. But this part is interesting to some of the Beyond Search brood: The WebMynd extension also comes packaged with individual sites (social and otherwise) so you can narrow your results. The list includes Amazon, Twitter, Digg, YouTube, and about twenty more. More information about the service is here.
