Visualizing what people are doing on the Web

摘要

What are people currently looking at in their Web browser? Do the patterns of pages change over time? Are changes periodic or just related to current events or other factors? We are developing a tool that attempts to provide insight into these and other questions. The tool sits on top of an Internet-scale programming backbone supports large numbers of simultaneous users. The tool itself provides a unique category-based visualization of browsing history and includes the necessary code to obtain the raw data.
