View Your Favorite Web Sites Offline
Even in today’s ultra-wired society, there are still places with no 3G signal and no WiFi. These exceptionally inconvenient locales can leave us anxious, feeling cutoff from the world. Short of a satellite connection, which is sketchy at best, the best we can do with no internet signal is have an archive of offline information from our favorite Web sites.
Hooeey WebPrint is a desktop application that creates such an archive. It runs in the background, capturing screenshots of every Web page we visit, storing them for easy full-text searches later.
Click the Free Download button towards the middle of the homepage to download the desktop client.
From the download page, install Adobe Air if you do not already have it, then install the application. Hooeey Webprint only works with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Linux and Mac users are limited to Firefox.
Once installed, the application sits quietly next to your browser’s address bar, recording every Web page you visit. You can turn the recording off at any time by clicking the dropdown menu next to the icon.
Surf as normal, visiting all of your favorite sites. To view the site’s Hooeey Web Print has captured, click the icon on the browser, or open the application from your start menu. All of your visited Web pages are then displayed. Click any of the pictures to view the screenshot.
To search the text of archived sites, type a keyword in the search bar at the top left of the application.
The service also creates a pie chart showing where you spend the most time on the Web.
We are impressed by the speed of Hooeey Web Print. For our test, we surfed as usual—at full throttle speed, yet the application captured each Web page in its entirety.
The only real complaint we have is there is no way to resize the window of the application; it is either full screen or minimized. Hopefully this will change as the application moves out of Beta.
