The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing - Issue 11.3 May / June 2006
Internet Reviews: BrowseBack
Browseback is an application that works alongside all popular Macintosh Web browsers, taking their
History files as input, and presenting a dynamic display of all of the Web pages that have been viewed over
a defined period of time. The pages appear like cards in a playing deck, fanned out across the screen in
three rows. As the mouse pointer crosses each card, the card is enlarged, and detailed information,
including a time and date stamp of when it was first viewed, appears in a display box in the middle of the
screen. When a page is selected the user can opt to go to its Internet source, e-mail the page, view the page
as a PDF file, save the page locally, or print the page. Pages are maintained within the program in PDF
format. The user has flexible search capabilities, searching by subject, and/or displaying pages between a
set of dates. The program is valuable for anyone who needs to keep track of their Web browsing and wants
a flexible way to find their way back to particular information. In addition, it maintains page images even if
the source has been removed from the Web, and maintains the complete Web page image, even if it is
longer than what would normally fit on standard letterhead paper. $29.95
