For a long time I used Google Analytics to provide webstats for me and for my clients - and it worked. Great stats, pretty graphs, nice figures - everything I needed.The problem I had was that I couldn’t get real time stats - I had to wait until the next day, by which time in some cases it was too late to react to surges in traffic.

What’s all the blogging fuss about?

July 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Blogging

So, Coca Cola ‘rented’ the blogs of 9 prominent bloggers in Brazil to promote the launch of their new product i9 Hydrotonico in Brazil.

And the Blogosphere went mad….

There was even a new manifesto developed:

“A blog is a personal page, is a time logbook, is expression, is someone saying what they think/reckon/believe for those who want to read it. There aren’t bloggers’ union, wages, holidays, but we do lots of overtime.

Each one has the audience they deserve, the credibility they have conquered.”
