Thoughts, musings, and, hopefully, not too many redundancies on the world of business data. If you missed the irony in the previous sentence, you may struggle with my writing style.
It’s been a crazy month work-wise. As a result, I’ve been chalking up thoughts in my head that I’d love to get written down. One of those thoughts is actually around time management and prioritization, which I’ve been pondering in the context of, among other things, my blogging…but that’s not the subject of this post!

Last week’s Columbus set a new record for the meetup — we had exactly FIFTY attendees, which was a great showing. Part of the large draw was undoubtedly the event sponsor, CRM Metrix (@crm_metrix on Twitter).
Pre-Meal Networking (and a Friendly Wave from Jonghee!)
Hemen Patel, CRM Metrix CTO, facilitated a lively discussion about incorporating the voice [...]
Last week was our monthly Web Analytics Wednesday in Columbus. Foresee Results sponsored the event and provided a highly engaging speaker: Kevin Ertell, Foresee’s VP of Retail Strategy and the blogger behind Retail: Shaken Not Stirred.
We had a good crowd — just under 30 people — and we did our usual half-hour of networking before [...]
Last week’s Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday had something of an odd vibe, but it was also one of the most tactically informative ones that we’ve had to date! The crowd was smaller than usual — 18 attendees — due to a confluence of factors ranging from the influenza virus (not H1N1, as far as I [...]
Last night was another great Web Analytics Wednesday in Columbus, courtesy of the Web Analytics Wednesday Global Sponsors (Web Analytics Demystified, SiteSpect, Coremetrics, and IQ Workforce). We had a respectable turnout of ~25 people (not including children) and a great time! And, all the better, I got to blind people with the flash on my [...]
I’ve officially dropped off the first page of results for a Google search for Monish Datta. Further proof that SEO is an on-going process! Monish made a crack last year that this blog was going to start dominating search results for his name. I took his wisecrack and ran with it! “Dominate” has never really [...]
We had another great Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday last week at Barley’s Smokehouse and Brewpub. This month’s sponsors were Bizresearch and the Web Analytics Wednesdays Global Sponsors. We had right at 30 people attending:
Laura Thieme of Bizresearch presented on search marketing and the challenges of trend analysis therein. She walked through one in-depth case study and sprinkled [...]
Web Analytics Wednesdays are an opportunity for full-time web analysts, part-time web analysts, and anyone who is interested in learning more about web analytics to get together and share their experiences! We will informally network for a bit before sitting down and ordering food, at which point we will have a brief presentation/discussion about Bizwatch [...]
Last night was the monthly Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday at Barley’s Smokehouse and Brewpub, and we were fortunate to have Webtrends sponsor for the second time this year! This time, we managed to get it scheduled in a way that lined up with Noé Garcia’s travel plans, so he wore the dual crown of “Traveled Farthest [...]
We had our monthly Web Analytics Wednesday meetup at Barley’s Smokehouse and Brewpub last week. Once again, the Web Analytics Wednesday Global Sponsors (Coremetrics, Web Analytics Demystified, and SiteSpect) sponsored the event, which is always appreciated!
This month, in lieu of a formal topic, Dave Culbertson facilitated a round of speed networking — like speed dating, [...]
Three things I know: 1) My wife got the raw end of the deal when she married me, 2) I blog because it keeps my e-mails shorter, and 3) If you have the urge to talk about data usage in business, I'll do so until long after that desire has passed (for you).
