I wish the "hovering" would not be reported in our "visitor" log. Most I figure are accidental, since I accidentally cause my cursor to land where mini-bios pop up and stay there until I move my cursor away to some blank space.

I used to enjoy seeing who "visited" my profile, but most of just "hovered" and I'm not interested in seeing that. I don't want all my accidental hovers being shown on others visitor log, so I opted not to let people know I "visited" which is a shame, as I like transparency, but I'm not interested in having all my accidental popups from moving my cursor reported as well.

Visited is when you have a look at someone's profile. Hovered is when you accidentally leave the cursor hanging on their name for a second.

There is no difference if you hover too long.
