Del.icio.us ‘too hot to handle’ list

February 12th, 2008 by Wendy McAuliffe

Don’t you just hate it when you have a blog post in mind, get distracted, and go back to it a couple of hours later only to find the idea you had in mind isn’t going to work anymore!

Earlier today my attention was drawn to an intriguing new service called Feng-GUI, through the Del.icio.us hotlist. The service creates heatmaps of websites based on where it thinks the human eye would be most likely to travel. According to Feng-GUI, these reports are 70 per cent accurate, i.e. they are able to capture 70 per cent of what traditional eye and mouse tracking would report.

We know a fair bit about eyetracking through our client Foviance, and so I was keen to give the Feng-GUI service a go. However, on clicking through to the homepage, via the ReadWriteWeb blog post on the subject, I received the following message:

“Thanks to ReadWriteWeb blog site, Feng-GUI service is under heavy traffic. Please try again later. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

Clearly Feng-GUI has been a victim of its own social media success!

If anyone does get to try out the service, please let me know!

"There is no hesitation in my mind that Liberate Media is the agency of choice for PR. Their understanding of our business - but better still their ability to communicate it effectively - has been unbelievable. Over the last decade at the forefront of the digital arena I have met and worked with numerous agencies - but none come close to the expertise of Liberate Media."
