Abstract
The present invention relates to methods, systems, output devices and apparatus for displaying user generated tracking information in an online environment. The method includes tracking one or more actions performed to one or more objects by a user in the environment; determining the amount of time that has passed since the user performed the action to the object; and displaying a tracking display. The tracking display includes user identification, the action performed by the user to the object, reference to or identification of the object, and the measure of time. The amount of time that has passed is updated periodically, to thereby obtain a user generated tracking display.
