Logging in and Registering
When you were adding a link, you may have wondered about
the 'Scope' field, that had a set value of 'public'. This means that this link can be shared with others on your computer.
If, for instance, someone else is also looking for a 'browser', then they may get a suggestion to look at
Firefox because you added this link under that category.
However, other people may use your computer and you may not want everyone to look at some links you add. Think of sites that you may not want to present to your children. For this, you can log in to your personal environment by clicking the 'login' link on the saight toolbar. The resulting screen is quite straightforward, but remember to register first by clicking the corresponding link.
Registration is also quite straightforward. You are asked to fill in some information about yourself, but don't worry, it is not sent anywhere, but remains on your computer (see our privacy statement). The nickname and password that are requested will be used to log in to your personal space.
The system uses this information to create a personal profile, which it uses to match incoming suggestions. This way the system can learn about you and improve its recommendations. A profile, by the way, is a unique number that the system uses to identify you with. this number can be sent to other users, but only your application knows that this number is connected to you. See the advanced topics for further details.
After registering and/or logging in you can see some differences. Obviously you can now 'log off' in the saight toolbar, but when you return to the saight home page, you will also see your address pop up after a while. You can also edit the details, and even try to locate the address in Google maps.
If you don't want this, you can (de-)select this option in the 'options' tab.
Try adding a new link by pressing the add button. Now you can select a 'private' scope, which will only be visible after logging in.
Please note that saight is work in progress, so we can not guarantee that something may go wrong. See our disclaimer for more info.
