Learn More About Fast Forward

FastForward answers the question, "Where do people go after they view this page?" We take you to the most popular page people went to next after the page you are on. It's like Amazon recommendations for webpages. "People who viewed this page also viewed this next..."

Installing FastForward has 3 major features:

Fast Forward Button: Press the Fast Forwad button to easily find good content nearby without having to look around. By trusting the wisdom of the crowds, you can find related pages, know what is poplar and stumble on to interesting new pages. FastForward keeps you informed and save time.

Alerts: Fast Forward also keeps you informed when there is something hot nearby without even pressing the button. If the majority of people who visited the page you are on went to the same page next, we'll alert you. It is an indication that there is something you are missing nearby and you should press the button.

Top 10: Also, there is a pulldown menu next to the Fast Forward button that shows you the top 10 pages that people went to next and the top 10 pages that are very popular on the site. These tools let you move to something that maybe important to you.
