Browseback
Browseback is a client (on the Mac), which allows a user to browse the history files of his web-browsers. The application supports the most important browsers on the Mac.
The most interesting thing is however how the list of url's in the history files are presented. Each link is presented as a fairly large thumbnail. The thumbnails are show on the screen as a stack, where each item in the stack is slightly shifted. When one puts the mouse over an item, the thumbnail is shown with it's related data.
A nice new way to present and browse a list of MicroContent Items. Naturally one must be able to present these items as images. Also nice to see that this application acknowledges the Items in the history list as MicroContent. In this sense these Items can be compared to bookmarks.
