(2002-12-09) Les Orchard Web Proxy

Les Orchard is interested in the Personal Web Archive/WikiProxy idea... See Les Orchard:Personal Web Proxy. He's even invoking David Brin... At the moment, I’m considering building a Personal Web Proxy. I’ve been playing with them and thinking about them off and on for years now. You can see a short list of them that I’ve poked at in the Personal Web Proxy wiki topic – you’re welcome to add to the list if you know of more. In particular, the WBI project at IBM got me initially hooked on things. I really thought it was nifty how they edited HTML on the fly to weave in the WBI UI and add indicators on links in the page. And the idea of storing a history of one’s web browsing in a local cache, available for review and later search, has always seemed incredibly attractive.
