Can’t work out how to link to individual entries in a blog. Anyway, if you go to http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/ and look for heatmaps, you get something about a new piece of software which you can apply to websites to see where people have clicked. The hotspots come out red, the less-clicked turn out blue. There’s an example of the OU library’s homepage heat map.
Can’t actually think what I’d do with it, but it does seem like a useful tool for web page designers, and gives a very clear picture of how people are getting around.
I like this … going to try it on a web-page of mine and see what happens 🙂 … thanks for the link!
Tried doing it, the only problem there is a trial version which is free and lasts 30 days, but it only works for a home page (the trial version that is) – and I couldn’t care less about my homepage – I wanted it to do it for another page – but it won’t allow it – I think its unfair!
