While I was attending Virtual Worlds 2008 in Manhattan a few weeks ago I did an interview with Steve Victorino of There.com which I didn’t really get a chance to write up till now. I don’t generally take notes because I find I can’t really concentrate on what people are saying to me while also [...]

This looks pretty interesting – Microsoft Signs Letter Of Intent To Acquire Xobni in TechCrunch today. Bill Gates has publicly complimented the service, calling it “the next generation of social networking.” Xobni, which launched at the TechCrunch40 conference last year, offers an outlook plugin for Windows users that significantly improves the desktop email experience (particularly [...]

I saw this video on YouTube that was forwarded to me by someone in my Facebook Social Network of Famous Failures – and that I have been driven by failures and getting older, to do much of what I’ve undertaken in the last few years. Here’s the video and then I’ll tie it in with [...]

Wow! Dennis Mortensen is a lucky guy and I’m glad I know him (hope he’s bringing a bunch of cigars to Emetrics SF next month and will finally show me Rubix – before it gets changed all over to Yahoo Analytics! – or whatever Yahoo! ends up calling it).  I first read about the news [...]

Usually, I attend Web Analytics Wednesdays in NYC (where I’ll go to one at the end of April and Eric Peterson will be there) or one’s that happen at Emetrics Summit or XChange.   This time, I’ll also be at a WAW at Monster WorldWide and I hope anyone in the area that’s into Web Analytics [...]

The only thing that I’d argue with in the TechCrunch post on Foreclosures Shown On Scary, Encroaching Heat Maps is the definition of what is a high number of Foreclosures based on population of an area – Hotpads.com sets to 1 out of every 150 homeowners – not sure what it should be.  According to [...]
