Re: [IxDA Discuss] Examples of pre-login \soft personalization\?
Something I do regularly is visit sites in firefox (my main browser. I don't clear out my cache that often) and safari (I clear out my cache every time I use it). I t's really interesting to see the differences when going to the same site in both browsers (with and without cookies). This works especially well when seeing if an ecommerce site offers better promotions for first time users;-) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] Examples of pre-login \soft personalization\?
I'm looking for examples of personalization that happens when a user has not yet logged in, either via cookies, geo location by IP address, or flash cookies (local shared objects). Examples I have so far are: - Amazon's home page, if you've ever logged in before - Google local results in standard search result page - ads everywhere Any other ways to personalize w/o requiring login technically? Any other names for this? Profiling? Any other favorite examples? Thanks in advance... Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Examples of pre-login \soft personalization\?
I'm not sure if I'd call it personalization, but I've been to sites that check the browser language preferences via the HTTP header and serve different things based on that (usually just serving in the correct language, but between language preferences and IP, you can make a guess as to where the user is located.) Mozilla checks your language and OS and offers the correct version of Firefox for download above the fold on their page (with a link to get to additional versions of the software). Emusic does something similar to Amazon, in that they'll make some music recommendations based on things you've looked at before, even if you're not currently logged in (I assume this is tracked with cookies, but I haven't dug very deeply). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
