I’ve had an interesting week with web analytics: First, I spent some time chatting with my favorite analytics consultant (bless her patient heart) trying to work out a new mashup KPI and content scorecard to help us measure our content effectiveness and set some priorities (seems like there is a never-ending list of things to […]
The filter – Peter Gabriel’s behind this interesting playlist builder that integrates with iTunes. Pick three songs, it builds a list. On another note the lack of music on the Apple iTunes store continues to amaze me. My recent “can’t finds” — Radiohead and AC/DC. Who’da guessed that one? Finding a Home for Web Measurement […]
Richard Rutter and Mark Boulton’s presentation (slides and notes) from SXSW 2007. They reference some excellent resources on web typography including these favourites of mine: Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web Compose to a Vertical Rhythm Five Simple Steps to Better Typography

For those, like me who missed Eric Peterson’s AMA presentation Web Analytics Demystified: Ten Simple Strategies for Using Web Analytics to Improve Your Online Marketing Efforts (my excuse? I was stuck in an all-day meeting) you can now view it online.

Often when the site gets reviewed by an outside consultancy or “expert”, they comment on the navigation position and suggest we move it to the left. Afterall “that’s the way everyone does […]
Google Analytics on OSX – Dashalytics is an OSX dashboard widget that allows you quick access to your Google stats.
