About voyurl
This is voyurl.
We're a just a few people who have a few simple beliefs. We believe that data should be in the hands of those who generate it not in the hands of those who sell it. And, we believe that technology should do more for us while asking less of us.
On the basis of those two fundamental beliefs, we challenged ourselves to build a system unlike any other before it; a system that makes your data work for you while making you do practically nothing. Our goal is to help you understand and appreciate your data so that when the time comes, we can literally empower you with it.
Our first step along this path is to bring you a product that allows you to tap into data the you create every day: your browsing history. voyurl recycles your browsing history to help you discover cool, new stuff on the web about the things you love without making you do a thing… literally. Just browse like you always do; we'll do the rest.
Intrigued? Here’s a little more...
We've told the internet everything there is to know about ourselves–profiles, preferences, ratings, reviews, surveys, questionnaires, oauths, connects–all of this active feedback we provide online… and yet services/platforms still get us wrong.
We get recommendations for stuff we've already seen. We're constantly asked to rate/review things so platforms can get 'smarter' about us by *degrees* ...only to inevitably miss the mark. We've got to define our interests and thumbs-up everything to make other services work even a little. And, all of those social network filters simply aren't getting us enough of the stuff we care about (while we might be “friends” with a bunch of people from high school 14 years ago, we're not necessarily interested in every link they post).
voyurl requires no active maintenance, is constantly self-adjusting, understands what you've seen vs what you haven't, identifies categories of interest, and operates in the background as a robust behavioral monitor.
Simply put, we don’t get in anyone’s way, and, with every second, we get smarter about a unique set of behavioral data: you. These facets allow voyurl to feed you the most important content on the web that’s most relevant to you at exactly the right time, without the need for you to take any extra actions online.
You already do all the clicking; let us do all the work.
It's as simple as that.
