Who needs tracking cookies and spyware? Not Google - they user Google analytics to track everything everywhere.

Google announced Google Analytics yesterday. This is a free version of Urchin, a web log analysis platform they bought a while back.
- Google/analytics just does not work. It's interface is slow. I have gotten "down for maintenance" several times over the past two days. Also, it keeps complaining about my tracking code not being installed, although I have embedded it in two different pages, but with no success.
- A couple of months ago, in my capacity of PM for RawSugar, I was actually using Urchin, (paying $200 a month(!)) . It was over-priced and under performing, IMHO.
- By introducing this tool to the market, google will have exact tracking of web visitors across all the internet. This, ofcourse, is valuble, valuble information. (did I say valuble?) On top of all the obvious and numerous lucrative opportunities this data generates for Google, it also enables them to completly stop all adsense fraud and misuse. So - if you're like me, going to your blog, clicking on an adsense ad, praying to get an additional 0.000000004 cents, forget about it. These good old days are over. ;)
