How many times you have forgotten a web page that you visited earlier to get some important information? Well, now there is a web application "" Hooeey, which is claimed to be an efficient tool to access browsing history.
 
"Hooeey enables internet users to re-use their browsing history in a productive manner to reduce time spent in searching for previously visited web pages, to easily share interesting web pages with others and use the provided dashboard to manage their browsing time more efficiently," told Hooeey's Managing Director Rajiv Purnaiya to PTI.
 
While providing a safe and universal platform for the entire browsing experience, Hooeey delinks the browser history from the browser.
 
Additionally, it adds a social networking layer, allowing one to share specific sites with others, both on Hooeey network and other social bookmarking services. Hooeey services can be accessed for free at www.hooeey.com.
 
"Our main focus is to save time and effort of the users by leveraging IT tools and adopting a different approach that combines seamless web hop recording with complete transparency and user control," said Rajiv.
 
Hooeey allows users to track their browsing history from any search engine and "also has the advantage on browser's history files as it works on both the platforms such as Internet Explorer and Firefox.
 
Hooeey provides facilities such as automatically recording web hops, tagging of interesting sites, while being online or offline, creating contact list and sending links to friends, besides having self-determinable folders to structure links.
 
"It is completely automatic and does not require any user intervention. The application can be plugged into your browser and then a user can create a Hooeey online account if he wishes to store the information," said Rajiv.
 
Every page that the user goes to is recorded in the application along with the time and date, and one does not have to manually bookmark any page. In case, the user does not want to record the information, there is one-click stop.
 
To keep track of all data, Hooeey has built-in analytics service that breaks down browsing habits with various helpful charts and graphs. Thereafter, one can hand pick any sites for tagging and sharing.
 
Rajiv said user's privacy is of paramount importance in Hooeey. "Our approach is based on complete transparency and the user is always in control. We have added some specific tools and features especially to make the user feel at ease."
 
"We are targeting the application at avid surfers, researchers, students and even journalists. Enterprises and companies can also use Hooeey to aggregate the knowledge base that their employees are adding on a daily basis", he said.
