Webmynd

Webmynd is a Firefox add-on that records every website you visit and saves a virtual copy on your hard drive. It is an extension to your natural memory. As you browse the web Webmynd saves a virtual copy of websites to your hard drive so that you can search and find things again when ever you need them. Even if the page has changed or disappeared from the web you can still find the copy in your WebMynd.

Webmynd's thesis is that traditional systems of bookmarking and tagging links will become obselete. As webpages are becoming more dynamic saving a simple link is not good enough.

Users can personalise the right-hand side of Google with the information sources that they most value. Instead of ads, users can embed sources such as Wikipedia, Flickr, Amazon, YouTube, Twitter, their WebMynd visual browsing history and most frequently visited sites.

Mashery


Launched in 2006, Mashery is designed to make it cheaper and easier for companies to build and control channels for web services than it would be to do everything in-house.

Thousands of software-driven companies are releasing APIs in order to become Software as a Service (SaaS) providers, either as a primary or secondary line of business. Although every API is different, the infrastructure to manage them includes the same set of challenges across virtually all providers. Adopting Mashery's developer management and support services allows API vendors to focus on their core business.

Mashery offers all the ingredients needed to get APIs widely distributed and successfully used – an API marketplace, tracking, metrics, usage/access management, commerce, security and performance tools.

Mashery’s customers include Shopping.com, Move, Cafe Press, LinkedIn, Lonely Planet, Freewebs, Get Satisfaction, Compete.com, France Telecom, Netflix, Trulia and Sylantro.
