Bradford Odeon, does Average Joe care?

Posted on by primaryt


Looking at google search analytics makes me wonder how powerful the movement behind the Bradford Odeon truly is?

Hardly any web traffic at all has any reference to saving the odeon. It is usual for activists and campaigners to create a small wave of interest amongst each other but it is rare that they will persuade the average Joe to try better understand their interest. Why would this be the case?
I don’t hold much opinion to save the building but I do think the council should be held accountable for a lack of decision making and the damage of having a “dead” building in the heart of the city.
I also think if some of these claims are true then an open discussion should be had and the truth should be disclosed. We can only progress as a city if we feel we can trust our councillors. I feel this is the current underlying tone that truly needs to be addressed.

Posted on by primaryt

Google Analytics Intelligence allows you set alerts for it something unexpected(or expected) on a site happens. See right for a screenshot.

Intelligence also gives you the ability to do advanced segments. Segments allows you to extend Google analytics to include and/or arguments into your queries. For example you may want to know how many people got to your site by the keyword pizza, but you may also want to know how many of those people were in the city of Bradford.

Google buy a microblogger service then kill it off

Finnish microblogging service Jaiku has been acquired by Google (NSDQ: GOOG) for an undisclosed sum, according to an announcement on the company’s site. Like its main competitor Twitter, Jaiku allows users to share short messages and presence alerts with each other, using either a computer or a mobile device. Oct 2007.



It does give to wonder why Google would want to buy the code from a Microblogger service though.
