This looks bad. Second outage in 4 days. This time it is my hosting company that is not doing their job. I just spoke with support and the problem is being taken care of, although they couldn’t say when it would be up and running again. I am looking at different hosting options that will [...]

Your spurl beam
Posted in english, Spurl.net on March 3, 2004 | 2 Comments »
I added a little pet feature this morning. I call it a “spurl beam”. It is basically a timeline showing the pages that you have spurled. It may not have a lot of practical value, but it is kind of cool. It shows what is floating through one’s head at the time. To make your [...]
RSS feeds for related pages and search results
Posted in english, Spurl.net on March 2, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
I added two features today that are natural extensions of the “search” and “related pages” functionality, namely to syndicate these results as RSS feeds. Simply go to the search or related pages, perform the search you want to do or click the related icon () next to any webpage in the spurl lists. The little [...]
Comments from blocked text and upload bookmarks
Posted in english, Spurl.net on February 26, 2004 | 4 Comments »
Two notable upgrades in the last couple of days: If you block a part of the text on a webpage before clicking the spurl! button, that text will be automatically used as the text for the comment for that page (see the “Advanced” tab in the spurl! window). This improves the usability of the comments [...]

Just added a search function to search for entries in the entire Spurl.net database. This first version is very simple. It simply searches: the spurl title the url all user comments and the description …for a search string match. The search is not limited to whole words, so searching e.g. for “interest” will return also [...]

Spurl from RSS feeds and a new list
Posted in english, Spurl.net on February 11, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Two minor updates today. Those of you that are using RSS readers of some sort (I for one use NewzCrawler) – you can now spurl a link directly from the feed, so it saves you one trip to the browser if you know the page or site already. You can also open a Related search [...]
Javascript lists improved

Improved on yesterday’s syndication list builder and made the Javascript list a lot more flexible. You can now include the date the page was spurled and your comments or the description for the page either as a text in the list or on a mouseover. See the builder for details (requires login). You can see [...]
