Detect the Social Sites Your Visitors Use


Posted on 30th May, by max in Code. Comments Off

SocialHistory.js, code enables you to detect which social bookmarking sites your visitors use. How does SocialHistory.js know? By using a cute information leak introduced by CSS. The browser colors visited links differently than non-visited links. All you have to do is load up a whole bunch of URLs for the most popular social bookmarking sites in an iframe and see which of those links are purple and which are blue.
