Are’nt you feeling lucky when you’re getting these “invitation” emails for new Beta stuff? I know I do…
Well, even more when it comes from Microsoft, and so much more when it’s for something I signed for months ago (I think 6 months actually). So Microsoft took their time and it appears they sent a bunch of invitations today (I got at least three just this morning), to visit and try out their new product, which was previously named “Gatineau” and is now prodly namesd “Microsoft adCenter Analytics“.

Industry Benchmarking – New Google Analytics Breakthrough!

I had a conversation with Brett Crosby from Google Analytics some hours ago, and it appears Google Analytics is releasing very powerful new features for their free web analytics suite. I must say at first I was not very optimistic, but when our conversation ended, and I was looking at the screenshots – My head was simply nodding unwontedly – These guys usually roll out great products, but these features I’m about to cover are way more than “features”.
