Eyebrowse is an add-on for firefox and a webapp brought to you by MIT CSAIL that lets you easily record, visualize, and share your trails through the web in real-time. Tell eyebrowse what sites to track, browse away and compare. Eeyebrowse also lets you find out what’s hot, who’s reading what, and how you surfing changes over time.
Currently, most web browsing data is collected by search engine companies (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Alexa), which is hardly available for public domain research. Eyebrowse seeks to fill this gap by providing an open and public repository of “web trails”. By making this data openly available, the project hopes to support the creation of useful public services that report major trends on the web, services that support personalization through collaborative filtering, and other as-yet unimagined services that require a mass of data about the world’s interaction with the web.

Check out the eyebrowse pulse and some real live profiles. Unfortunately, I am a Safari user although I do have my bookmarks all synced up thanks to xmarks I rarely use Firefox. Nevertheless, you can also look up any site and see who visits, when they visit, where they come from and where they click on. It should also give you an insight in what information google may hold on you already.
