Introducing Google Analytics V5

Today, Google announced the new version of Google Analytics at the Google Analytics User Conference in San Francisco. Unable to attend this awesome conference, as stated by Justin Cutrioni on his blog, I was able to snatch a screencast that Justin put together for the new version of GA. It runs through in less than 8 minutes some new features in GA. Go check out the full blog post to get a run down on heavier details of all the changes: Google Analytics V5. Enjoy the video!

3 Web Giants to Become Cardinal Path

When I look back two months ago when I accepted my offer at PublicInsite, I felt like it was going to be a big push forward in my career, but now the push feels even bigger with this announcement I'm about to share with you. 

Cardinal Path

"Today we’re announcing the merger of VKI StudiosPublicInsite and WebShare to create a new analytics firm named Cardinal Path!"

Head over to the Cardinal Path website and read the full release.

I couldn't imagine something this big to happen so soon, and so soon after being hired into my current job. PublicInsite being a 7 man shop, will soon become a diverse team of 30. Not only to paint the picture that 7 to 30 is a big jump in body count, but more notably, Cardinal Path will have an even wider array of expertise, awesome!

I'm incredibly excited to meet everyone at Cardinal Path, and stoked to begin working with most, if not all, the smartest people in the industry!

See All Your Facebook Friends On A Map

Ever wanted to see where ALL your friends were in the world at a glance? 

You can easily map your Facebook friends in a few clicks with this ninfty app called Where My Friends Be?. Thought I'd give this a go and see how quickly it maps out.  And just to see how quickly it is, here's a quick screencast that maps out 823 friends in 47 locations around the world…

Cool or what!? Here's a screenshot of what you might see after you've mapped out your friends on the world map. I think this is quite neat. If you click on the individual pinpoints, you'll see a bubble pop up with the names of your friends in that respective locale.
