6. Concept behind current Serendipity attempts in Web
Search results are tailored based on user’s Web history
Past interests determine what users are exposed to in the future
Hence,
Unique universe of information for each user is created
This is called the Filter Bubble

13. What’s Missing?
Aren’t the present search patterns based on user interests leaving less
room for unexpected encounters?
How often are we driven to explore the unexplored world of Web and
thus an accidental discovery?
Are we truly realizing the initial intention behind ‘Hyper Text’ which was
to establish a continuously growing, globally interconnected library of
information?

16. Our Concept, filling the gap
What?
• Our idea is to enhance serendipitous experience of user while
surfing Web
• We provide the user an opportunity to accidentally discover
information unbiased to his interests
How?
• We intend to incorporate the possibilities of serendipitous
encounters in user’s isolated activity of opening a new tab
• The free space between the tabs in the form of blank page or
homepage before he enters the next URL is where we plant our
concept ‘Discover’

Notas do Editor
User is not deliberately searching. Information is not biased towards interest, untailored.
Aimless browsing is the only way which encourages serendipitous learning online in the present scenario.Providing opportunities to get exposed to serendipitous learning instead of the conventional requirement of self-initialized search by the user.
Breaking the confines of the bubble.
Serendipitous knowledge, driving force in a surprising way to get exposed to the world outside the user’s domain, refreshing new information, serendipitous learning, unexpected results to aimless surfing, serendipitously bringing in information to the online world for the user.What, where, how???
