Especially with point (2) it could reveal a lot. I wonder if this could be derived from Google Analytics? I'm right there with you on annotating a path. That seems like a remarkably reflective approach to understanding thought patterns. Rafael,

I’m right there with you on annotating a path. That seems like a remarkably reflective approach to understanding thought patterns.

Then graphs could be compared for length, etc. This system would work differently than a borwser history in that (1) the graphs would be saved on a server, and (2) it would not erase parallel paths whenever you backed up and went forward again in a different direction. Also cool, as long as graphs are being saved on a db, users could edit the path directly and annotate it. Then the path could open on the left in Firefox and guide users through the trail.

Keep me/us posted on ideas as they shake out. Lots of promise in a concept like this. I’ll look forward to the demo when I am down there for the TLT conference!
