Bookmarks - Page Attraction
As generally, we bookmark places in a book where we leave off because not everyone can read an entire book in one sitting. That is just the common reason to place a bookmark. Another reason could be to pick a spot where certain lines or quotes are most attracting. The Internet on the other hand is an almost limitless paged book. Aside from the usual search engines, emails, and other important sites there are usually sites browsed for personal exploration or interest. Everyone finds themselves attracted to some random website. You never know what someone might be looking for or where they'll end up. So then, what really attracts a visitor to one site over the other? When looking for something, what usually catches their attention? In the end, it all comes down to curiosity. But in the minds of the maker, can anyone help but feel anxious of what the visitor is thinking?

That is a good question. It's probably much like an author hoping someone will buy their book. What they really want is to have the reader refer the book to all of their friends. That's probably the case with the web page maker as well. Either they want to stimulate us or aggravate us enough to tell everyone we know. Whatever it takes to get the hits.
