[...] the web works. To get ahead, you have to start looking at more invasive signals. My own research on adaptive websites focused on tracking clicks, scrolling, word highlighting etc while a user is on a page. This is [...]

Interesting stuff.
Makes me more confident that computer science is the right degree for me next year.

Yes, I’m planning to write up my results in a blog post – I have now finished my MSc (attained a distinction on the adaptive web sites project) and actually ended up with some novel results including the ability to predict up to 30 seconds in advance which link a user will click, and also a new document similarity metric which warrants further research.

I might not be able to write the blog post for some months though, so please email puremango.co.uk@gmail.com and we can discuss things.

Yes, there are obviously privacy concerns, but if you look at what amazon are doing with recommender technology, that’s generally accepted by users, even though it’s using some pretty “invasive” metrics about what you’ve looked at and bought to generate those recommendations.

So I think the key is to provide real benefit to users, to be honest about what you’re collecting, and to allow users to easily “turn it off”, and I think most people will be happy with it.

A lot of what you’re proposing sounds like it would be really intrusive from an end-user perspective. Its like a ‘flight recorder’ capturing everything the user is doing while on the website. Even if we’re to ignore that for a moment, it boils down to the question of do end-users really want or need an intelligent website which assumes it knows what the user wants. Its going to be interesting to see how the end-user experience can indeed be enriched through the use of this technology, instead of becoming counterproductive.
