Notes from ad:tech San Francisco

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Finishing up and closing down after some successful days at ad:tech San Francisco – and with this event being one of the biggest shows in the interactive world and the SF event is doubtless one of the premier locations for the ad:tech guys – it did not disappoint. However; the sessions seemed a bit “thin” [...]

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Just finished a fantastic set of authentic Sushi at an all Japanese speaking restaurant – not than I can complain about the good food at the Emetrics Summit Düsseldorf, which was super.

I read an interesting post (Authenticated User IDs vs. Unique Visitors) on the Web Analytics Forum on Yahoo today, that I would like to comment on – the post goes like this:

My comments to Emetrics London 2007

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

I attended Emetrics in London last week (..and just returned to the office) - and must say that this was definitely worthwhile. I think the biggest take-away from this show was the presentation by Vincent Kermorgant from Nokia, titled: “Implementing Web Analytics the Nokia way”.
