Google New Application Store for Analytics
Yesterday Google announced they’re opening a new third party Application Gallery for Google Analytics.
The gallery already has more than 30 applications. Applications are organized into 12 categories, including business intelligence, campaign management, content, data collection, e-commerce, email marketing, mobile marketing, phone tracking, reporting tools, SEO, site auditing, and widgets and gadgets.
A few that seemed very promising included Analytics Visualizations, Analyticator for WordPress, and WordStream Keyword Management for SEO. Plus, coming soon, is a brand new set of Google Analytics reports for AdWords (video included above). You’ve got no excuse not to know anything and everything that is happening with your site.
How People Use Firefox
This is pretty darn interesting. Alex Faaborg, who is the Principal Designer on Firefox, has posted a study on how people use the application, with a heat map that highlights the most and least used menu items. As you might expect Bookmarks got the most use by far, followed by copy and paste. Copy was used about twice as much as paste. Not a single person used “Redo.”
Some Google Buzz Resources
Google today announced a new service, Google Buzz, that automatically brings social networking into Gmail and the rest of the Google-sphere. Whether or not you’re big on social networking sites like Twitter or Facebook, Buzz offers a somewhat new and intriguing approach.
Buzz integrates directly with your Gmail inbox, so updates and comments appear along side your e-mails. It bears a strong resemblance to other sharing platforms like FriendFeed or Twitter and Facebook’s News Feed—imagine all of those magically inserted into your Gmail inbox and you get the picture.
If you’re a GMail user you’ve no doubt come across a brand new section of your email called Buzz. Buzz is Google’s new social network and it’s already created a stir. There have been concerns over privacy but all in all, the reaction has been very largely positive. This article is a simple guide explaining how to use the service.

Twitter Code Swarm Video
Twitter recently launched a Twitter Engineering blog, focused on the nuts and bolts and “geeky” stuff. In the first post Ben Sandofsky, decided to share a video he made representing Twitter’s development history using Code Swarm, a software tool used to visualize data, so you can get a feel for what is happening at Twitter server side.
