Sammendrag
The growth in complexity of the World Wide Web, matched by the increase in user
sophistication, has transformed the notion of user disorientation. While the retrieval of
visited Web pages has been studied, the particular class of Web pages not initially
recognized as being important enough to return to merits closer examination. Such pages,
referred to as Post-Valued Recall (PVR) Web pages, tend to sit at the interface between the
solitary act of surfing the Web and the social act of interacting with colleagues, who will
often trigger the realization that a particular page is, in fact, of value. Results from a user
study illustrate the effect of PVR in a social environment, as well as offer design guidelines
for browser utilities that could diminish the negative impact of PVR.
