What is a Feed?
A feed is anything you want to preserve that is publicly available on the Internet. Websites, Web pages, blogs, Twitter feeds, Facebook fan pages. Additional properties and plug-ins for SaaS applications are coming soon!
What is a Crawl?
You specify how often you want the feed "searched" for new content. Each occurrence of that archiving process is called a crawl.
Do you actually use web-spiders, bots
and crawlers?
It depends. Sometimes, with Twitter for example, we prefer to use the API. So it's not technically a "crawl", but for our purposes they are one in the same.
How often can I schedule crawls?
Daily, weekly, monthly, once every three months, or yearly for scheduled crawls. Twitter posts captured in real-time, and, with our bookmarklet functionality, you can manually archive any web page in real-time with a simple click of the mouse.
What is SmartCrawl?
Because the modern Web is a stew of new technologies, complex databases, Flash, Java and other third-party tools and plug-ins, we also offer SmartCrawlTM engineering to assure the most accurate and complete preservation of any website. Learn about SmartCrawl here.
Can I crawl anything I want?
You can crawl anything you are authorized to crawl, please see Customer Terms for more info. For Twitter feeds, enter any Twitter user, and the same holds true for Facebook,
though we ask for authentication for individual user pages.
