Big Bad Code

I signed up for Google’s analytics package as soon as I heard about it.

For a little history Google bought a company called Urchin awhile back and have updated their reporting package and are now offering it for free. No upsell, no reduced feature list, just a solid package with a very nice interface. Way to go again Google.

So far I have to say I’m very impressed, not that I have a lot of traffic coming in to check out anyway, but the presentation of your info and the ability to drill down in to it is very well done. I actually recommended the Urchin package to a client a couple of years back they didn’t feel ready to spend the money required.

At this point though Google knows all about my email conversations, my blog postings, my instant messages, my voice chats, my site visitors, my web searches, probably my shoe size, my online buying habits, and lord knows what else. Lets hope they stick to their corporate motto “Don’t be evil.”

Oh and hello to my reader from Spain, I don’t know who you are so leave a note and say hi!
