The tool looks great, I'll give it a try.</p> Hi Edison, thanks for the comment. The tool looks great, I’ll give it a try.

It's now available for Mac/Windows and you can extend it to multiple users with Slife Teams.</p> <p>http://www.slifelabs.com http://www.slifeteams.com</p> <p>It's similar to RescueTime in some ways. Give it a try - the Slife client is free. We would love to know what you think. We will be opening it with an API soon as well.</p> Hi – We’ve recently introduced a new version of our time and activity analytics solution, Slife v2.0.

It tells you how many times you've visited the page and when was the last time, right there in the search results.</p> Google search sort-of does that if you have web history enabled.

However, I was getting lost in the comments when i suddenly came across the parts where you talk of searching as in traversing a tree. Now I had data structures last semester, so that sort of kept me going to the end of it:) I believe annotation is not of much use, since if we are anyways going to remember that we will need it often, we would bookmark it anyways. I like to think of a firefox extension that would display in the search page itself the no. of times ( if ever ) you have visited a particular link. And based on that, somehow highlight the ones one has visited more often :)</p> Nice post.

The first question is can you find the leaf nodes, which I think you can on the client based on referral information. So you keep building the tree till the new page loaded has any of the current pages in the tree as its referrer. </p> <p>You'd probably want such a system to prefer deeper nodes (Just because they might have a higher probability of being 'the node' that the user found his information at. It could also be optimized to give lower rankings to pages you frequently visit, just to get rid of the noise. </p> <p>The other way, that you mention, is to ask the user to manually "star" the page or annotate a part of it to show the information he was looking for. It works great if the user knows that he'll need the page again, and if he remembers to do the annotation, both hard things for lazy people like me to do.</p> <p>I think that a hybrid approach would be the ideal solution, wherein you have this underlying system that would do its tracking behind the scenes, and have a 'pseudo' ranker, such that if you bookmark a page while navigating, its rankings shoot up for that and related 'search paths'.</p> That’s the interesting bit, so generally these search paths go like a tree originating from the search page going into, let’s say, some 3-4 levels deep across 3-4 different paths.

I am interested in building a firefox extension to track web browsing, but that's for a different reason: Building a recommendations engine over it. I had planned to use <a href="http://attentiontrust.org/toolkit" rel="nofollow">AttensionTrust's toolkit</a> to build a basic recommender engine (Eg, a search for "hard boiled eggs recipe" could pop a 'recommendation' in the browser saying something like "You searched for these terms a month back, and this is the site you ended up visiting: URL", but both my courses are taking 50% of life, assuming that as a graduate student, I have any :)</p> Heheh, what makes you think that the corporates don’t already do that?
