  abstract =     "We have performed a user study where the popularity of
                 each node in a hypertext database was presented with
                 the links leading to that node. Popularity was computed
                 by counting the number of users who had previously
                 visited the node. Our users clearly incorporated
                 popularity information in their decisions; we compare
                 their browsing patterns with a control group for whom
                 the popularity information was not provided. One
                 possible use of popularity can be to offset the
                 previously documented trait of users to over-select
                 items near the top or bottom of a linear list. We
                 document that popularity information affects user
                 behavior, but we do not necessarily advocate its use.
                 Incorporating popularity information raises other
                 questions of design and ethics which are beyond the
                 scope of this paper.",
