With many Web 2.0 applications, saving a search result say from a Google Maps mashup application can be a challenge. Bookmark the URL and you usually end up back at the beginning of the search query, not the intended result. Iterasi is hoping to change that with its browser plug-in for Firefox and IE that lets you capture the dynamically-generated search result as you see it. Two questions I have for Iterasi after seeing the Demo:
1. Results locally captured or hosted somewhere (ie. like del.icio.us)?
A: Results are stored at a central location. Right now, the service is free but at some point the company will limit the amount of free storage and begin charging for more storage and features.
2. If the results are dynamic, like a listing of available apartments, is that query updated with the latest results when you return to the bookmark?
The results are NOT updated when you return to the "notarized" page. It's essentially a snapshot of the page, but built in HTML, so it acts like a page, not a still image. But, the original URL is still accessible, which you can use to run an updated search.
Itersasi is hoping to launch private beta in 30 days.

Answering your questions
Thanks very much for covering Iterasi. We really appreciate it.
To answer your questions:
1. Hosted. We store your notarized pages up in the cloud, so that they are accessible from any Web browser.
2. No. At the time the page is notarized, it is no longer tied to the data stream from the site. The notarized page remains in the exact state you saw it, forever.
