We didn't store any user specific information, the totals were aggregated each time a user visited, we just added up the counts. Also we reviewed the SocialHistory script to make sure it did not actually take advantage of any browser exploit to get the information. @deborah We will repeat the study again and probably change around the parameters to get some better information. For example target just the library computers during a normal school day, limit it to the admissions site, etc. @edward We thought about the privacy implications before we ran the test.

Did this going through any kind of review before you did it? This is an interesting study, but it raises interesting privacy considerations.
