Abstract | For a place that gathers millions of people theWeb seems
pretty lonely at times. This is mainly due to the current predominant
browsing scenario; that of an individual participating
in an autonomous surfing session. We believe that
people should be seen as an integral part of the browsing
and searching activity towards a concept known as social
navigation. In this work, we extend the typical web
browser¢s functionality so as to raise awareness of other
people having similar web surfing goals at the current moment.
We further present features and algorithms that facilitate
online communication and collaboration towards common
searching targets. The utility of our system is established
by experimental studies. The extensions we present
can be easily adopted in a typical web browser. |
