"ActionShot is an integrated web browser tool that creates a fine-grained history of users' browsing activities by continually recording their browsing actions at the level of interactions, such as button clicks and entries into form fields. ActionShot provides interfaces to facilitate browsing and searching through this history, sharing portions of the history through established social networking tools such as Facebook, and creating scripts that can be used to repeat previous interactions at a later time. ActionShot can also create short textual summaries for sequences of interactions. In this paper, we describe the ActionShot and our initial explorations of the tool through field deployments within our organization and a lab study. Overall, we found that ActionShot's history features provide value beyond typical browser history interfaces. share interesting web pages that they found. However, these web sites only allow people to share the URLs of individual pages. If people want to share what they did on a web site, they have to write it down manually, which can be so tedious that they forego sharing the information. Social scripting services such as CoScripter [8] allow users to record and share interactions with websites, but these tools require forethought and planning to enable recording at the right time to capture a reusable script. Moreover, CoScripter's one-to-all sharing model was found to deter many users [8], who asked for finer grained control over with whom they shared their scripts. An enhanced browser history could solve these problems, letting users easily grab sequences and share them with the desired audience."
