(Part I: How it all started…)
Ever since we designed Web Replay, we tried to figure out what’s the best way to explain this feature to our users so that they can use it to its utmost, in terms of helping them surf the web faster and more secure. The challenge in explaining this powerful feature of Web Replay (a killer feature, actually) relies more on introducing a new concept than on emphasizing the obvious benefits once you get the hang of it.
The concept of Web Macro or Internet Macro
The Concept: Web macros use the programming-by-example concept to automate user actions within a web browser
The Reality: In this hectic web world, the more we’re trying to do, the more boring and mindless does our work seem to get. Think about the web sites you visited in the last few days and didn’t require you to login or sign up for a new account (Google, maybe?: D).
Is it a win-win situation? Yes!
Two of the reasons are your online security and their marketing strategy – they give you a free (or paid) account and protect your data, you use their service and strengthen their online credibility.
Again, is it a win-win situation? No!
They have computers to remember you; you have only one mind to remember all of them.
We agree there’s nothing wrong or fishy about being a member of online services. But, the more you like or depend on their services the more “stuffed” does your mind get. Your will soon be “kneeled down” by the information that has been piling up. You’ll be typing tons of passwords, usernames, filling web forms with your information, just like in a never-ending story. Each and every day! Several times a day! Hundreds times a week!
The cost? Hmm, well it’s quite pricy: you lose precious time and memory “space” that you could use elsewhere.

We’ll be posting a series about web automation & web macros and we’ll be trying to explain them in detail. Please, bear with us though! We’re going through a huge site makeover and we’re kinda’ trapped with some designing issues. But we’ll get back to this soon, I promise! J
