This is neat. I had a similar idea of tracking what we read online in the browser. In addition to just recording time spent and links followed, I would also archive every article read to automatically build up a personal library of the articles themselves. Additionally, light weight note taking on the articles themselves ala hypothe.is

Unfortunately a new baby has drained all my time for such pursuits.

Hope you develop your concept further!

Awesome that we came up with similar ideas!

So right now, the Chrome Extension tracks all link clicks as well so the visualisation actually builds relationships between articles/ blogs/ anything else you read on the internet.

I also had another idea that once we build our Knowledge Maps, we should be able to compare and share it will one another.

For instance, I'd love to see what our software engineers around my age/ experience are reading and the insights they are drawing from articles.

Obviously some sort of security/ privacy mechanism will need to be implemented as well.
