I write about this in my blog www.managementmythbusters.blogspot.com and that measuring actual activity in the right way is now possible through the digital age. Your new metric is a prime example of this, well done.

At first, the idea that "attention" is equivalent to "time" sounds wrong to me. "Time", in itself, doesn't convey the quality of the attention level (attractive or aversive, voluntary or captive, front or back of mind). However, since time and traffic are the two elements that can be easily measured, your "Attention" index brings a valuable view of something that wasn't available, or at least, not presented in such a convenient way. What we will need, next, is the "finesse" of knowing our attention is not the same when we spend an hour looking at YouTube or doing our online finance... :) S.Hamel http://blog.immeria.net I’ve been studying the concept of “attention economy” applied to web analytics for a while.
