Abstract :
Internet is an integral part of modern life. Users often visit many different websites regularly in the course of their daily lives. As the number of websites that a typical user visits increases, so does the need to effectively manage these sites should the user want to re-visit them later. Most users simply rely on the bookmarking or favourite features of the browser they use to manage these sites. While these features fill a basic need and allow the user to keep a list of sites, they have very little organizational capability beyond simple organization into folders. This paper presents a tool called ¿PEER¿ for the effective and efficient organization of personal websites. The proposed tool uses a variety of features including folder organization, addition of names, tagging entries, tracking dates entries, and search features in order to allow users to manage their list of preferred websites efficiently and effectively. The usability evaluation validates the utility of the proposed tool.
