Analytics that tells you Gender-Age Demographics

I came across a pretty interesting stats program called user insight in Japan that was recently released by UserLocal who are also the creators of Japan's cell phone analytics program ugokuhito and nakanohito. At first glance, user insight looked pretty normal. Heat maps, page views, gender analysis...wait gender analysis? Yeah, apparently this product analyzes what perc… Continue

ad4u by Drecom

Lately I've been reading a lot on Drecom's ad4u targeted ad technology in Japan. Ad4u has been somewhat on the Japanese web radar for its controversy over invading user privacy. So what is ad4u? Drecom is currently keeping the exact details of this technology a secret (awaiting patent in Japan) but the concept is very simple. Ad4u uses javascript to analyze user's browsing history and then displays relevant ads based on this information. For example, sinc… Continue

TinEye Image Search Technology

I just learned about a new image search technology called TinEye and it reminded me of the things I heard about ilovephotos.com so I thought I'd share it here. (*I know very little about both companies so I'm not sure if these two technologies are really comparable) If you watch the video on the TinEye site, you can see that it is a brand new way to search for images on the net. It doesn't search for images based on tags and file names but rather uses the actual… Continue

Jeez, where do I begin. I've been obsessed over sweetcron since I found out he was turning it into an application. It's very raw, still... and hard to share plugins. But an awesome feat. I worried it was going to be vapor ware.

Currently it's not so simple to install, configure(i.e. get rid of yong's face) but if you have an open editor to your live files, and a penchant for pain (nuking your blog) then you should be fine.

It does exactly what it says it will... by publishing your lifestream and all aggregates of feeds of data you generate while online. Some of it can become bothersome, for example: do I really want people to see when I play a video game, or that I played it for 6 friggin hours?

Either way it's completely configurable, and you control what makes it to the front page (though it's carte blanch, and no queueing for review).

I don't see why you can't take a stab at it, get over the rush, and then go back to whatever else you were doing.

The next major point release should have it nice and stable, AND hopefully a better theme support system -- he seems to have put in difficulty points to limit "entropy" or every blogger hopping onto the systme. *shrug*

HTH,
Eric
