December 12, 2000: A little while back, peter reminded me of information foraging theory and linked to the PARC Information Foraging page. There's definitely something about the theory that rings true, although I find myself using it mostly as a design heuristic, where I compare the relative strength of "scents" of various links on a page and then adjust them according to the relative importance of those pages. Heh, of course that could be because I'm not a Psychological Anthropologist or somesuch.
