and more than 80,000 links. LinkScan also produces two revolutionary

types of maps of web sites. LinkScan's SiteMap enables the user to

|
produce a site map that includes every link on a web site arranged in a
|
|
hierarchical format that resembles a book's table of contents. LinkScan's
|
|
TapMap is an expandable and collapsible site map that allows viewers to

tap down through the various and multiple levels of a web site to quickly

|
and easily navigate and explore the web site by tapping on a few

control icons.

|
|
<DT><B>Description:</B><DD><P>ThreadTrack and WebTailor are lightweight browser and
|
|
server independent CGI script packages, developed under Linux, that add
|
|
state to web servers. ThreadTrack is used for tracking the activity of
|
|
individual visitors to a web site, and WebTailor is used to dynamically
|
|
modify the content of a web site in response to a visitor's profile or
|
|
actions.
|
|
<P>WebTailor uses a simple server-side scripting language to modify the
|
|
site's content. The language, targeted to non-technical web designers,
|
|
is easy to learn and use. For the more technical, the CGI interface has
|
|
been expanded to enable parameter passing on a per visitor basis between
|
|
scripts running on different pages.
|
|
<P>ThreadTrack tags individual visitors to a web site with a unique
|
|
identifier that remains with them for their visit. Each visitor's
|
|
session is recorded click-by-click, so a database of aggregate and
|
|
individual activity is available for reports. Comprehensive reporting is
|
|
included, and the data (dBase III) is easily transferrable to custom
|
|
reporting packages.
