From MozillaWiki
< Labs | Test Pilot
Alexander Limi wants to know:
- Do people use bookmark folders anymore?
- If so, how deep are their hierarchies?
- What windowsize do they need to find their way through even lots of folders and save new Links (ff 2.x better usage than 3.x!)
- Are they using backup add-ons like xmarks
- Is there a need to sync bookmarks between different PC's
- Would people prefer their bookmarks and profile stored in a cloud?
- What is the distribution of # of bookmarks
- How many people use folders
- How many people have several levels of folder?
- Filter out the default bookmarks (both Firefox and IE imports)
AndyEd wants to replicate the data on this topic from the research community over the last 15 years
- Visit recurrence rate (what's the potential utility of bookmarks)
- Visit trigger type (type-in, search, bookmark)
Also on Limi's list:
- How many people use tags
- How many tags per bookmark
- How many bookmarks per tag
The Place/Stats project can access many of these questions and partial code already exists. See AndyEd's Analysis
