Google Analytics = Misserable Failure (at least for now)
I just found a
quote from Google regarding the new Analytics, "The Google Analytics service has been completely restored and full service is available to everyone."
My first reaction is WTF??!! I have a great deal of respect for Google but seriously, who do they think they are fooling? Everybody and their brother knows that Analytics is in critical condition. How can they not expect the demand for this that they received? Are eggheads that insulated from the real world that they would not anticipate the desire for such a service? What I do know is that it does not work. Plain and simple.
I'm looking forward to the time when it does work as advertised. It will be a great tool for small websites (like this blog) that cannot justify the expense or hassle of a full blown log file reporting program. So Google, if you're listening, we know it's not "completely restored" and that service is NOT available to everyone. Throw us a bone and let us know when we can REALISTICALLY expect to be able to actually use this cool service.
