    Designers and researchers of users' interactions with the World Wide Web need tools that permit the rapid exploration of hypotheses about complex interactions of user goals, user behaviors, and Web site designs. In our approach, information foraging theory has been developed as way of explaining human information-seeking and sense-making behavior. Webology aims at understanding patterns of Content, User traffic, Topological (link) structure, and user Recommendations (CUTR) on the Web. We use the theoretical notion of information scent developed in this theory as the basis for several analysis techniques, metrics, and predictive modeling. The system we have developed incorporates new methods of Web site visualization, a new predictive modeling technique for Web site use, and new Web usability metrics.
