Definition of “DigitalLocation”: | |
Instead of tracking your physical location, like GeoLocation does, DigitalLocation tracks your “Location” on the Web. | |
So, in short, DigitalLocation consists of a timestamp, a domain, a path, and any other meta-data that the consumer or | |
provider would like to attach. | |
Example DigitalLocation in a JSON format: | |
{ | |
domain: “http://docs.google.com”, | |
path: “/a/techwraith.com/”, | |
created_at: “Mon Aug 16 11:16:57 2010”, | |
metadata: {key: value} | |
} | |
How DigitalLocation can be Used by Consumers: | |
# Personal Analytics - How much time do I spend per site? What types of sites do I visit? | |
# Social Browsing - Who else visits the same sites I do? Who else is on the same site I’m on right now? | |
# Personal Recommendation - What other sites would I like based on my browsing habits? | |
# Social Gaming - Winning badges, becoming “top” visitor | |
How DigitalLocation can be Used by Providers: | |
# Web Analytics - Get highly detailed data about your site visitors. | |
# Content Recommendation - See what other sites your visitors visit, get recommendations for new content. |
Thanks for the feedback! I'll be meeting with some friends to plan more tomorrow - I'll keep you in the loop.
We're thinking of making this a Node.js backend with a few browser extensions to collect data and push notifications and a web app to view data. I just wish mobile phone browsers were ready for plugins.
Let me know if you think of any other ideas about this!

interesting, I love the game mechanics aspect (badges/top visitor... check in). this would kill compete/alexa ratings
