I noticed a request for invites to a currently closed-beta web service called Filangy on Jeremy Zawodny's blog. Reading through the available info it looks like a browser plugin that records your history and allows you to save the full text of pages in a personal Web Cache set aside for you when you sign up.It would be cool to have the features of a9.com and Furl combined like this, and from just glancing through the recent blogposts about it on Technorati, the current users find it useful.
Interestingly, it saves the full text of the pages you visit automatically like Google Desktop; this would be enough for me to move away from a9, which only saves the title of the page and the URL, along with the fact that I've found an annoying bug with that service that hasn't been addressed - a Firefox toolbar bug that duplicates your Diary entries (I currently have about 5 original diary entries, but somehow they've replicated into a thousand).
Filangy is only available by invite at the moment (a strategy that has worked well before to drive up interest), and it's not clear when it'll be open for everyone.
