Final Report of the 2007 Analytics Shoot Out Available!
The 2007 Analytics Shoot Out Final Report is now available. This report is the final report in our study of 7 different analytics packages running across 4 different web sites simultaneously. Here are the sections you will find in this new report:
Yahoo Protesting China Lawsuit
The Internet company continued to cite a need to comply with local laws as they asked a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit against it.

Unified Communications Bring Network Traffic
Seventy-five percent of companies estimate that a quarter of their network traffic over the last three months consisted of unified communications-related applications (VoIP, unified messaging, instant messaging), according to a survey from Network General Corporation.
YouTube Ads (The Aftermath)
YouTube finally unveiled the first real version of its a platform last week, and we’re still processing the results. Some stories:

An Associated Press article informs that Brazilian prosecutors say Google has not provided Orkut user information regarding crimes.
Fotolog Purchased By Hi-Media
Photo sharing site Fotolog has been purchased by Hi-Media Group, a Paris-based interactive media company.
