Measuremap
So I get to work today and there’s this funky email in my inbox. Apparently an invite to something new called “Measuremap”.
Apparently the service is invite only, but I got an invite, but I have no idea from who. I was a bit worried about this being a new fancy spam-thingie, where the unique signup ID was just confirming that my inbox was actually monitored, so they’d send me even more spam on that address. Wasn’t. Measuremap is supposedly on of these new trendy “execute-javascript-to-a-tracker-and-make-funky-stats”-concepts. It seems to be free, but maybe that’s only in the alpha I’m testing. Anyway, I inserted this snipped of JS(JavaScript) on my site, and it started tracking stats. They’ve done nothing revolutionary, but it looks pretty funky. I say funky a lot today. They have the usual “where are your visitors from”, but this one is represented on a world map, with highlighting of countries, hovering stats on them, etc. Looks cool. And it’s easy. I’m a bit ambivalent with regards to forwarding all my statistics to an external company, which I have never heard about, and they just happen to send me an invite. Ah well, I’m already subscribed to [“Google Urchin”:http://www.urchin.com], which doesn’t seem to work. Has been telling me that my stats would be available within 12 hours for 2 days now. I’m also running [“Mint”:http://www.haveamint.com/], where I gather my stats on the same site as my website. It’s cool, but not as cool as measuremap. !http://www.measuremap.com/images/st_countries.gif! Anyway, check it out [“[measuremap.com]”:http://www.measuremap.com].
Looks neat, will give it a try :)
