Reply to: Personal alternatives to Google Cache for saving web-pages

[doodab]

I just found this, which looks like it might do the job if you use chrome:

I want to bookmark some web-pages but don't trust they will always be around. Are there tools which work like Google's page-caching technology, but let me specify which pages to keep? Maybe even Google provide this?

I know I could save offline or copy-paste but when persuing the web to find lots of useful pages, I really just want to copy-paste the URLs somewhere and be confident I can reach them in the future.

AFAIK the only way to be sure of this is to download the web page and keep it somewhere. I used to do this a lot using wget which has a windows binary available.

I don't really bother much nowadays as the info is always old and I prefer just to browse again. Life's too short to read the entire web twice

Hth,

Boo

Does it store locally, or somehow duplicate the selected page online?

Onenote will by default put everything in Onedrive but you have the option to store notebooks locally as well although obviously you lose the ability to sync across devices easily when you do that.

Edit: removed the utter bollocks I was spouting. Springpad stores a thumbnail and a bookmark, so useless for what you want.

Store locally AFAIK

Try, it's free

Yes, it does. I have used it recently. I do use this functionality (Evernote Web Clipper) for exactly what the OP wants

I'm pretty sure Evernote can do this (though I haven't used it recently).

I think springpad might do it, it has a sort of web clipping feature. One note could be used as well I suppose.

It seems this is exactly what bo.lt did, but I can't access it and assume it disappeared?

I found a neat Chrome "Save to Google Drive" option but it seems pretty tulip. You can choose between PNG, HTML, MHT but if you save as MHT you can't actually view it because Drive can't display MHT, you have to download a local copy. And if you save as HTML you can only view the HTML source not the page, which makes the tool pretty pointless.

I don't think CUK is going away anytime soon.

You could use Instapaper to do this I think. That will save the text and images for link when you save it.
