Reply To: Software: On & Off the Web

In the past, sites used to be happy to merge accounts for you but very few do that now. It was nice being able to call customer service and explain the situation and get everything migrated.

Yep, really miss Google Cache. It was very handy, especially to grab a snapshot of a site when they were down for whatever reason. Nothing wrong with Archive.org but they don’t update their archive as often as Google’s bot crawls around the web on account of having much fewer resources.

There’s Pocket! The mobile version is hit or miss for me so I stopped using it ages ago as I like to save articles on one device and read them on another but it has always worked really well on the computer. Do note that to save a page that has gone offline requires a subscription, which I never signed up for. Also really miss StumbleUpon. Used to use the add-on all the time to get cool and random stuff. The Internet just isn’t the same these days. 🙁
