Would anyone be interested in helping Ben as the Advocacy Co-Chair for
the Advocacy Committee.

This can be very rewarding and an opportunity to work with great people
and influence the direction of the association and industry

if you are interested please contact me at
rfoley@...

Hi, Ben! I don't know how big this group is, but it would be really
helpful to send out invites to the conference calls via Outlook. Thanks.

It's worth it to me if it's worth it to you. I can't wait to see your
findings. I took it and I'll have my staff take it as well just to
boost your results. That's 10 more right there!

Best of luck,

Hi everyone,
two weeks ago Avinash posted about "how should web analysts spend
their day", and on my side, I've been talking about "attention". So I
took Avinash suggestion and the survey used to map out the types of
attention being spent on a task (see www.attnco.com). The combination
of the two should give us a pretty good picture of the web analysts
job, the time they spend on each type of activity, and if those are
perceived as positive or negative tasks (and other attention
characteristics).

My problem is I don't have the reputation of Eric Peterson, so I can't
gather a thousand followers :) I only got about 30 survey responses...
I must admit the survey is a bit complex (I wanted to use the exact
methodology from Attention Map) and the questions are directly taken
from Avinash. I got about a hundred page views on the survey start, 55
started it, including 28 completed.

Despite the low response rate, I can already see some interesting
results I could share.

As "advocacies of WA", I would appreciate if you could take a look at
what I'm trying to accomplish, comment, bash or anything will be
accepted :)

If it's worth it, I will continue and ask for your support to increase
the number of respondents. Otherwise I will stop it there and
summarize what I've found so far.

I think we should have our scheduled call tomorrow to discuss whether
the Googleclick privacy issues will impact our web analytics efforts.

Any reason Eric is doing this, rather than the WAA?

There seems to be a consensus that "page view" is not the good unit of
measure anymore... I sugested, based on post I had seen a long time
ago, "meaningful user event" but the question remains: how to measure it!

Looks like a genuine data nightmare. . .what position does WAA advocacy
take on this?
