Every now and then your browser uploads the history to a
central database. People in your "circle" see a little icon in
the corner when they go to a page you have been to.
(there
would be a hide mode too so you can surf w/o leaving the
mark) You can also see "where" someone in your circle is
doing stuff on the web too. (of course if the DB fell into
the
hands of evil add execs. this could be a nightmare . . . but
maybe a sort of grass rootsy open source approach would
work?)
Just so people could say things like "Oh I saw you were
reading X . . . blah blah blah"
web logs sort of do this now, but this would make it more
organic and less annoying to update (so more sites get
linked
and friends stay in touch more)
(?) ThirdVoice
http://www.thirdvoice.com/
Skip their current "Content Management" desperation business plan, these people were and are about leaving annotations on the Web. [egnor, Feb 17 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]
(?) Odigo
http://www.odigo.com/
ThirdVoice is canonical, but Odigo is really much closer to what you describe (close enough for a Sealy "Baked", anyway). It lets you see people (at large, or among your group of friends) on a "radar" screen associated with the site you're browsing, and communicate with them by instant messaging.

(?) CLIO
http://citeseer.nj....m/lau99privacy.html
This is terribly obscure, but *really* close to what you describe. "We describe the evolution of privacy interfaces---the user interfaces for specifying privacy policies---in COLLABCLIO, a system for sharing web browsing histories." My girlfriend happens to have co-authored this paper, and I will take any opportunity to link to CiteSeer, which is a fabulous research tool. [egnor, Feb 17 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]
"Navigate The Web Together"
http://www.groove.com
Groove, a product designed by Ray Ozzie (of Lotus Notes fame), is a shared-space, or collaborative, Win32 app that allows folks to lock their browsers together for communal browsing. Pretty amazing app, actually (even if it does require a 1.5Ghz machine with a gajillion MB RAM to run acceptably well). [bristolz, Feb 17 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]

I for one am heartily sick of all the 'share <every bloody thing> with all your friends' crap... |
|
| |
And the point of posting the profile that everyone can easily get by clicking on my username is...? |
|
| |
The problem with a feature like this is that it could easily be manipulated so that your boss, your wife, your parents....etc. could see where you've been. While I'm not worried abou where I have been...I still think this could lead to a form of censorship/spying and that nags at me as NQR (not quite right). |

No....I'm still looking.... :-) May have better chance of finding a wife than finding a husband....maybe I'll look into that.... I guess I didn't say that someone should be worried that their husband would know where they'd been b/c I certainly don't care if someone knows where I've been.... "yes, dear, I've been to the bakery and to that site where I actually do real work as a moderator....." |

Ah. Looks like the irony is rusty. The difference there is that that is about me, where the 'share everything' thing is 'Here's my bookmarks, and here's my email address book and here's my... ...so that everybody in the world can have everything I have and isn't that just EVER so peachy?'. |

A profile is not a program to share everything with everyone else. |

Sounds good to me! :-) (+) |
