Ask, and Ye Shall Receive 1
Or perhaps "Complain, and Ye Shall Receive." After my post complaining about Google Analytics earlier this week, I got a Measure Map invitation in my Inbox. Thank you to Jeffrey Veen for that one. (And thanks to Measure Map for having an install tutorial for Typo.)
I've also decided to install Blogbeat, as suggested by Jeff from Blogbeat in the comments. I'm going to give those two services a week or so to gather some statistics, and then I'll write up a more detailed comparison of all three.
It ought to be interesting to see what these services are doing to differentiate from one another. If anyone knows of any other blog analytics services that I should include in this shootout, let me know.
Trackback Spam Strikes
I just spent a while removing all of the trackback spam that some jack ass left on my blog. Although Typo seems to have a good number of ways to prevent it, it still seems to crop up fairly often. Anybody have a good strategy for fighting it?
Hopefully we'll get some more plugins soon on this front.
