(Re-)Released Clickstream, a simple filter that tracks a user's progression through the site. Simple concept, but incredibly powerful. A lot of great ideas have been throw out and I'll start adding them in. Ars Digita has a clickstream component, which I think I'll "borrow" some ideas from. I like the idea of being able to detect time spent on each page, as well as where they go next. This, combined with tools like SiteMesh, would allow for some pretty fancy dynamic interaction with users on your web site. One idea I liked was that of sending messages to users based upon their clickstream history (such as a sales promotion to a guy who spent a lot of time looking at a particular product). Pretty fancy stuff! 6:23:30 PM
