How does caching work? - 345 views

cache help thanks thank you

    This is really bothersome!
    The whole point of existence of Furl is you can save your pages, and the save is supposed to be instant.

    Now my "furl it!" bookmarklet no longer works and says
    "Furl is being absorbed by Diigo and will be phased out. As a result, you can no longer save bookmarks to Furl. "

    But I go to diigo and find the 'save' feature doesn't work worth a crap.

    Needless to say, taking down a service that was working perfectly and replacing it with something that doesn't work isn't cool at all.

    I don't mean to bash anyone as much as they might deserve it. Before and after Looksmart acquired Furl, it was always first and foremost a web clipping service and way to save pages for later use, not just much a way to keep bookmarks.

    There are zillions of bookmarking services del.iciou, and all, and bookmarks are very easy to share (post bookmarks.html on the web).

    So I see it apparent that while 'clipping' seems to work; Diigo is not really usable with caching not working.
    It's a real disappointment; especially since I had so much cached stuff in furl that I probably have no way of getting to and exporting.

    I'm looking for an alternative service that provides the caching features and does a good job...

    I'm open to both for-free and pay services that can save and serve up saved versions of old web pages.
    Without suffering the problems of archive.org (one robots.txt entry or request from a webmaster destroys the archives).

    Just having a horrible time finding anything that works as well as Furl did for this.
