METROPOLIS 1.02
Web Site Personalization Script
What does METROPOLIS do?

It allows you to rapidly and easily add a Personalization feature to your existing external website or Intranet.

Why should I add METROPOLIS scripts to my Web Site?

(1) Personalization allows your website visitors to select which links of News, Product and/or Service Topics they want to see each time they browse your web page.
Instead of a clutter of links...

(2) Clients are presented with only those News, Announcements and Special Offer links which they consider important, generating frequent repeat visits to your site.

(3) As a webmaster you can use the METROPOLIS Log file, to track which visitors have selected which Topics and when. You can spot marketing trends and the most and least popular Topic selections made by your visitors.
Essential to e-commerce...


(4) METROPOLIS makes your site more dynamic and responsive to your client information needs.

(5) METROPOLIS scripts can be added to your website easily, rapidly and at a lower cost than more expensive solutions. It is a quick first step to make your website "client-aware",
through Personalization.

Where can I try METROPOLIS out?

This METROPOLIS DEMO shows what YOUR web site users/visitors would see...but with YOUR Topics.

Try it! Select some Topics. When you later return to your Personalized Page, you should still see the Topics that YOU selected previously. METROPOLIS remembers...
===> "Real-World" DEMO.
When done, come back here (close the DEMO window).

And this could be your LOG Client and Topic Tracking File, where you can track who, when and which are the most popular Topics selected by your Clients.

How do I install METROPOLIS in my web site?

METROPOLIS is an ASP-based script (ASP = Active Server Pages), so your site should
be running in an ASP-enabled server, such as IIS.

The METROPOLIS scripts have a few, clearly marked "TO DO" commented items.
(i.e.:   "TO DO #3: Change the number below to the number of Checkboxes the client can choose from")

You or your technical staff should already be experienced in running ASP scripts
in your web server. (We do not teach ASP technology nor give ASP-related support.)

METROPOLIS has been tested and works on version 4.xx of the two major browsers,
with JavaScript active.

Why is it called METROPOLIS?

We are fans of METROPOLIS, arguably the first ever major science-fiction film (1926).
As in the film, we believe web technology to be a universal access tool to knowledge, information and opinion, yet allowing each individual the power to choose and personalize what they want to see.
