Remember my continuing<\/a> rant<\/a> about<\/a> how it’s time to just cache the entire Web and keep it local? A start-up named Webaroo<\/a> has a similar idea<\/a>.

Their current plan is the usual “pay for it all through advertising” model.<\/p>\n

I’ve not tried it yet and don’t know how easy it is to personalize webpacks or how well they handle things like accessing pages that require sign-in, but it definitely looks like a good start. (And if they do the job well, I could easily see them winding up being purchased by one of the big players in search.)<\/p>\n
