论文摘要
人们花费大量时间试图理解互联网,从各种来源收集内容并组织起来以做出决策并实现其目标。尽管人类能够在脑海中收集和整理信息时能够贯穿,但现有的工具和方法会引入此过程中的重大摩擦。我们介绍了Fuse,这是一种浏览器扩展程序,通过将低成本集合与始终可用的基于紧凑的卡侧栏中的轻巧组织组合在一起,从而使用户的工作内存外观。保险丝帮助用户同时提取关键的Web内容,并以轻巧和视觉方式进行构造。我们讨论这些负担如何帮助用户将更多的心理模型外部化到系统中(例如保存,注释和构造项目),并支持快速审查和恢复任务上下文。我们22个月的公共部署和后续访谈提供了对执行信息觅食任务的现实世界用户的结构行为的纵向见解。
People spend a significant amount of time trying to make sense of the internet, collecting content from a variety of sources and organizing it to make decisions and achieve their goals. While humans are able to fluidly iterate on collecting and organizing information in their minds, existing tools and approaches introduce significant friction into the process. We introduce Fuse, a browser extension that externalizes users' working memory by combining low-cost collection with lightweight organization of content in a compact card-based sidebar that is always available. Fuse helps users simultaneously extract key web content and structure it in a lightweight and visual way. We discuss how these affordances help users externalize more of their mental model into the system (e.g., saving, annotating, and structuring items) and support fast reviewing and resumption of task contexts. Our 22-month public deployment and follow-up interviews provide longitudinal insights into the structuring behaviors of real-world users conducting information foraging tasks.
