Measure Map

A while back I started using a web analysis package called Measure Map as there were rumours/cases where Nedstat (Now Webstats4u , or somesuch rubbish) was being naughty and serving pop-up ads on websites that used it.

Personally, I wasn’t all that impressed with Measure Map, and ended up sticking with Nedstat (whatever) for the basic daily stats, and using a different offline analysis tool for the big reports and figures. Measure Map hasn’t been able to discern between spam “readers” of posts and proper ones, for example, so the figures have always been a bit skewed. To me, it’s just not reliable.

Anyway, I got an email today saying that Google has bought up Measure Map, which may or may not be an interesting development.

So I said there was news, and here it is: I’m writing you to announce that Measure Map has been acquired by Google, effective today. For the near term, you will see no difference in its operations. In the not so distant future, you can expect great things from this acquisition. We couldn’t be happier to find such an ideal home for Measure Map, and are thrilled at the possibilities.
