Google knows best?
Looks like Google underestimated demand. Glad I got in there before they closed the gate.
Google was providing free web-traffic analysis based on Urchin (a company they bought a while back). All you have to do is implant a small bit of code into your web pages and -poof- instant stats.
Except demand was so great that it was a little less than instant. In addition it doesn’t work with Safari (I don’t know why) and now the service is down.
Once they get it ironed out, people will still adopt it in droves. Before you go on a ‘Google is taking over the internet’ rant, just remember that other companies have offered very similar services, in the form of page visit counters and other such things.
But yeah…Google -is- taking over the internet. Just hit this site for the proof: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20051117.html
