Google Analytics tech support in under 140 characters
Google Analytics on Twitter
I started following @googleanalytics today and noticed their bio: "Tech support in 140 characters or less doesn't work...".
This makes sense, but to prove them wrong, here are some canned answers they can use for free:
- Press F5 to refresh.
- Restart your computer.
- Upgrade your browser from Internet Explorer 6!
- It works in Chrome.
- Do not copy and paste someone else's analytics code on to your site.
The taste left in my mouth by moonfruit is bittersweet
Sorry for not updating sooner. I've been very busy at my day job and afterwards with work on the next Project Peru site. My mind has been a-buzz all week!
So no, I didn't win jack from the MoonFruit contest. Didn't even get a "wow, this guy's site idea sucks balls!" (or something along those lines) tweet from @moontweet.
Only one of my friends tweeted about it and left a comment on the site (thanks @DonnaVitan!) even after I e-mailed a bunch of people that I figured would totally help me out. Am I bit tweaked about that? Ya of course. Don't want to make a sob story of a blog posty, but WTF?
What the hell happened here? Why was this such an epic fail in networking? This is something that will haunt for quite a while I think.
I know the people I e-mailed when to the site, and some people from Twitter went to the link I tweeted about (who knows if @moontweet was one of them). In 6 days, the site received 136 unique visitors, with 900 page views. That's about the only thing that I found remotely successful about this little endeavour.
Sorry MoonFruit, I will work on my lame YouTube video acting and solarizing Photoshop filters for the next contest :Pem
Oh and the icing on the cake was that they ended up giving out morn 3 iPods after the creative contest was finished!
Loading ...And the cow jumped over the #moonfruit
Well I just woke up after a long night of waiting for the Twitter iron to get hot (Twiron?) and have my creative entry (http://randommoonfruit.info) for Moonfruit's contest to get noticed by them. @moontweet seems to come on at very late times and retweet (aka RT) creative entry tweets. The norm seems to spam #moonfruit and @moontweet sees it. I'm not sure if they RT everything just what they like. I don't think it's everything because I did not receive a RT.
This has left me wondering: Is my entry lame? A few times in the past I've had (what I thought at the time was a smash hit) fall on it's face.
My bit.ly links are getting hits at least and the site has had over 70 uniques in under a day. Here are some of the bit.ly links:
