Every now and then you come across a new website that completely makes your day, I have had one of these moments this morning, and the lucky site is Cluztr.com. Still in private beta, Cluztr is what you might call a “personal web-tracking” service that helps users by monitoring the websites that they and their friends are visiting. The possible uses for this site are seemingly endless, ranging from a simple stalking tool to keep up on your friend’s daily activities, to a personal recommendation page that will tip you off to sites of interest based on your previous click stream (similar to StumbleUpon). After installing a simple download into your web browser, Cluztr will begin to observe your web activity, compiling a list of the sites you (and your friends) have recently visited.
The site’s social component includes features that pull from similar pages like Digg and Del.icio.us. Users can sort popular sites based on total visits, views in the last week/day and the site also provides with a cloud view to see which sites are most popular overall. In addition to these aspects, perhaps the best use of the site is for its ability to link you directly to various profiles that you have on different social networking sites. From one single page, users can quickly and easily check their Facebook profile and then click over to view a page on Hi5, Grouper, Break or virtually any other website. I’m sure that there are other pages that have this capability, but Cluztr seems to streamline the whole process and incorporate it into the larger web-tracking service to make one entirely awesome service!
