Marketing Pilgrim: First Look - Google Analytics Launches New Interface and Reporting

http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2007/05/first-look-google-analytics-launches-new-interface-and-reporting.html
"Since Google acquired Urchin’s popular web analytics technology in 2005, re-branding as Google Analytics, the service has become a popular choice among marketers looking to understand their web site’s traffic. While Google Analytics has had a few minor new features added since then, its success has come mostly from the fact that it’s absolutely free! It’s hard to gripe about the lack of certain features, when you don’t pay a penny for Google Analytics’ already extensive reporting."

Technology Review: The Secret of Apple Design

http://www.technologyreview.com/Biztech/18621/
"Apple, Inc. has made an art of not talking about its products. Fans, journalists, and rumormongers who love it or love to hate it have long had to practice a sort of Kremlinology to gather the merest hints as to what is coming next out of Cupertino.

A case in point is this story, which was to be about the iPhone--about how an innovative and gorgeous piece of technology was conceived, designed, and produced by the vaunted industrial-design team at Apple. Along the way, it would address the larger question of how one company can so consistently excel at making products that become icons, win design awards, and inspire customers."

"Photoshop Layer Styles are the easiest way to speed up the design process. I found that my previous article - Ultimate Web 2.0 Gradients v3.0 was a lot helpful to many.

WordPress plugin: Automattic Stats

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/

However I found that even though something like Google Analytics provides an incredible depth of information, it can be overwhelming and doesn't really highlight what's most interesting to me as a writer. That's why Automattic created its own stats system, to focus on just the most popular metrics a blogger wants to track and provide them in a clear and concise interface."
