The social factor of site metrics
In the recent article from San Jose Mercury News Scott Kirsner writes
He quotes Scott Beale, blogger of the Laughing Squid reporting that drop in visitor count can lead to depression. Similar opinion is shared by Daniel Klass, podcaster of The Bitterest Pill.... many of us have become obsessed with audience metrics of our own, seeking a tally of how many people we're reaching as something of a touchstone - an indicator of our influence, popularity, or coolness.
Evolution of todays free and very flexible metrics systems has lead to an obsession over the metrics. Bloggers are tracking where their readers are coming from, which browsers and operating systems they are using, and which are the primary referrers to their point of destination. While in the early era, it was all about the visitor counter, nowadays analytics software is very sophisticated and allows plenty of tweaking and narrowing down from one category to another.
Primary metrics services are
Google's Analytics
SiteMeter
StatCounter
Extremetracking
These are just the ones I used/heard of. But doing a simple Google Search gave me a whole bunch of other services :
FuseStats
ShinyStat
OneStatFree

Yo! This is sort of off topic but I could do with some advice from an established web site. Is it quite difficult to start your own personal blog? I am not particularly techincal but I can work different things out quite fast. I was giving some thought to starting my very own blog however I'm unsure where to start the ball rolling. I was wondering if you have a few helpful hints? With thanks

I'm truly enjoying the look and layout of your site. It is exceptionally easy on the eyes and that makes it a lot more pleasant for me to come here and visit more regularly. Did you hire a graphic designer to produce your theme? Awesome work!

Children simply don't make the distinction; a book is either good or bad. And some of the books they think are good are very, very bad indeed.
