SocialBrowsing: integrating social networks and web browsing

In this paper we introduce SocialBrowsing, a Firefox extension that adds social context to the web browsing experience. The extension is paired with services provided by social networking websites, analyzes the page's contents, and adds tooltips and highlighting to indicate when there is relevant social information. We present an overview of the tool and implementation, and outline future steps for analysis. Keywords Social Networks, Web Browsing, User Support ACM Classification Keywords H5.m.
