I have been contemplating what else to use (Furl user). The search engine within Furl (to search your personal stored archive) has been broke (errors out) on the furl site and I had sent in an email to Furl support - with no response in the last week. An app like this is pretty useless without a search (let alone support!). Chuck Hi, thanks for posting this information. I have been contemplating what else to use (Furl user).

My Web) is that it allows you to link to your cached copies without having to be logged-in; meaning other users can see copies of pages that have gone off line. this is very important for the casual web historian (when archive.com doesn't help) and for issues where prosecution causes content to disappear quickly. Unfortunately Spurl's UTF-8 support is poor and this causes pages in encodings other than Latin to be garbled; with the hope that they can be fixed one day soon.

It's great to hear from someone who's been there, done that. You motivated me to get started with Spurl today! I really appreciated your comparisons between Furl and Spurl. And thanks to Otis, I'll also have a look at Simpy. Hi there,

Thanks for the thorough summary about Furl and Spurl…

It’s great to hear from someone who’s been there, done that.

You motivated me to get started with Spurl today!

I really appreciated your comparisons between Furl and Spurl. And thanks to Otis, I’ll also have a look at Simpy.

I created an account and imported my spurl bookmarks, but I'm waiting for Simpy to start working with Opera to check it out in detail. I see <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=112287">you're working on this</a>, hopefully it'll be resolved soon. Thanks Otis, Simpy looks good.

You should have a look at Simpy - it’s more feature-rich than the above, independent, and a bunch of other good stuff.
