Warning: your mouse movements are being recorded

I just signed up for RobotRe­play beta, a ser­vice that cap­tures vis­it­ors every mouse move­ments, click and key­stroke and it is free ser­vice at the moment.

I do not want to track your every mouse move, click or key­stroke on this site, I know what most the prob­lems are with this site and will fix it with the next redesign. What I really want to do is have a good look at RobotRe­play, because it could be very use­ful for a couple of upcom­ing projects.

Let me know if you exper­i­ence any prob­lems using this site over the next few days, I would like to see if there any per­form­ance issues.

    Nick — Won­der if this will work with a site being rendered within a rss reader (online or desktop) as opposed to the tra­di­tional browser.

    Gary only if you can force javas­cript into your RSS feed and the RSS reader under­stands javas­cript without con­fus­ing RobotRe­play about the URL. The short answer no.

    Hey Nick, there were _definitely_ per­form­ance prob­lems :) We had a deluge of traffic as you might expect.

    Hope you like the service!

    Dave, I was more con­cerned about any per­form­ance prob­lems on this site with RobotRe­play javas­cript. After check­ing the site a couple of times on dia­lup on the week­end, I am happy to report there did not appear to be any issues.

    As for RobotReplay.com, I expec­ted it to get hammered, it is a damn use­ful ser­vice and word travels fast about about good stuff on the inter­web. So I expect some per­form­ance issues until you get lots of serv­ers (or bought out by google, yahoo etc.)
