I've found it very useful, and there's a full write up over on the new weblog.http://www.philb.com/blog/2005/11/google-analytics_17.htm mightyv: Welcome- November 16, 2005 mightyv: Welcome Ah, now this is a useful site! It allows you to see what's on television. There are a number of sites that do that, but the reason that I like this one is because you have a wide variety of channels, and you can personalise the thing. You can also search for particular programmes as well. And it's free. Worth taking a look, if for no other reason than you can see what you're missing while you're online.http://www.philb.com/blog/2005/11/mightyv-welcome.htm Google Analytics- November 16, 2005 Google Analytics is another interesting new feature from Google. It seems to be a statistics and tracking package (free) that allows you to see which keywords perform on your site, and which ones don't. The idea is that it allows you to focus your marketing resources on campaigns and initiatives that deliver ROI. In order to use it you need to sign up, paste some code on your site and sit back and check the results. I've added it to a couple of pages on my site and I'll report back with more...http://www.philb.com/blog/2005/11/google-analytics.htm Google Base- November 16, 2005 Google Base has now gone live. You can post adverts, information, recipes, reviews, course descriptions - almost anything that you want as long as it conforms to their policies. I'm not going to go into detail yet, simply because I've not had a chance to play with it, but if you follow the link you can read the Google FAQ for the service, and see some screen shots that might ground the concept a little bit more.http://www.philb.com/blog/2005/11/google-base.htm Listen Up!- November 16, 2005 Found this site thanks to the ALA TechSource weblog. It's a blog subtitled 'monthly news and information programming from the Decatur campus library of Georgia Perimeter College' and shows what can be done when a library starts podcasting.http://www.philb.com/blog/2005/11/listen-up.htm UKeiG adds a Swiki to their blog- November 10, 2005 UKeiG (aka UKOLUG) has added a swiki to their weblog. I mentioned swikis a couple of days ago - it's a combination of wiki and search engine. Try it out!http://www.philb.com/blog/2005/11/ukeig-adds-swiki-to-their-blog.htm My weblog is on the move!- November 10, 2005 Don't forget that my weblog is moving! Please unsubscribe from this feed and move across to the weblog at Typepad called Phil Bradley's weblog. I'm mirroring my entries at the moment (except for these reminders) so do move over, since you'll be seeing these more often. Cheers!http://www.philb.com/blog/2005/11/my-weblog-is-on-move_10.htm |
