Would anyone object if I added this service to the Cayenne site?
Yes, me, even I have no vote (but I would vote -1 if I would have one)
:) .
IMHO already a too big part of the Internet is "covered" by Google
/(Analytics).
I have a really bad feeling that on most pages I click these days I
see in the status bar "loading google-analytics", and than with the
same IP address I might read my email and than everything gets connected.
It's an https connection if that helps you feel safer.
No it doesn't. I totally dislike the idea that private companies know about
me or what I did (e.g. last month for each minute) much more than I do (since I already forgot the
most).
The thing about statistics is that you need volumes of it to do any
decent data mining... thus I'd say google is a decent choice if any are
to be used at all. Their tools for analysing the data are also brilliant.
Yes, especially for them since they have *all* the data and "hype blinded" users have only a small
fragment of it to keep them happy.
There are many good weblog analyzers that don't require to "give away your data", so I don't get why
are you so keen on selling yourself to Google.
Ahmed.
P.S. I suppose next you will proposed to insert google ads all over the Cayenne documentation and
site, won't you.
