This is definitely an exciting space to be in and I wish Archify the best.

As for Infoaxe, we rebranded the product to Flipora last dec (new name, same product http://blog.flipora.com/2011/12/06/flipora-by-infoaxe-new-name-same-great-product/) We just crossed 12M users a couple of weeks back. Infoaxe is the company and Flipora is the product. Our goal has always been about making it easy for users to keep track of all the great websites they discover in an easy, frictionless manner by offering great web history search across all browsers. We recently also added discovery as a major feature to our web history search engine, where we now also help users discover great new websites based on their web history (in addition to offering web history search).

Flipora (previously Infoaxe) is growing by close to 1M users a month. Here’s some recent coverage of Infoaxe’s progress from TechCrunch, VentureBeat, AllThingsD and several other international tech blogs http://blog.flipora.com/2012/07/03/flipora-in-the-news-techcrunch-allthingsd-venturebeat-bizjournals-and-more/

Archify is one of those services that do not require your attention, but are “just there” for you when you need them.

Hi Megan,

we are using bcrypt for password hashing and symmetric AES encryption for almost all of your personal data. To enable full text search we need to store the content of the webpages you browse in clear text, but only you are able to access that data. Anyway we are not storing any pages you browse in private browsing mode or are encrypted via https, you can also blacklist certain sites.

thx, Gerald from archify

Archify seems like a smart alternative to things like RescueTime, where the well-catered to aspect of knowing where I spend my time, how long I spend time on things seems to be enriched by the ability of querying my “personal archive”. Which, given it’s the core service of this company it seems, sounds like a simple task. But everyone knows how much of a pain it is to scan through Safari’s history mess or spend lots of time scrolling, scrolling more, then scroll some more… on Twitter/Facebook timelines.

I use Spotlight search every other minute on my Mac and always wished it would include a way to search externally as well, or, in this case, have the ability replicated by an online service I trust. And Balderton usually seems to invest in rather trustworthy people.

This seems as if it could be extremely useful. I’ve never even heard of a ‘personalized search engine’ prior to reading this article, but the concepts are clear and make perfect sense Before utilizing Archfiy or anything simliar to it, I would definitely request more information on what type of encryptions are being used. That’s an awful lot of data all in once place to fall into the hands of the wrong person. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be on the lookout to hear more from Archify in the near future!

I use archify for several months now & I like how it works!
You won’t miss a service like archivy every single day. But if you handle lots of information from different sources and find yourself struggling with different bookmarking-apps, this service is definitely the way to go.

The personalized results stuff is actually pretty useful. It’s not something that I access daily, but every other week when I’m looking for something that I couldn’t find otherwise I’m happy that the plugin is installed and running in the background.
