example bit.ly disparity: receiving foreign traffic moments after posting. Almost certainly bots.
- Kevin Mullett
yep, my article addressed that bit.ly has issues with bots. but the point is that if you look at only the log files and recorded referrers versus page requests for a tweeted link, I had a 500% difference. That's not down to bots. Analytics programs are missing out, too. The truth is between.

We see this happen a lot with RSS feeds too. Name your Javascript based analytics tool, they all under-report traffic and advertisements from RSS feeds. Posts like yours will help educate the market on problems with tracking new media destinations using Javascript based analytics tools.

I am seeing a huge disparity between my Posterous stats and Google Analytics as well.
- Steve Rubel
well this will certainly make people think again about twitter's power to direct traffic

Remember stuffing binders in 2005? And not being able to use the Google backpacks because they narrowed at the top like all the fab new backpacks did that year? I cannot believe Phil came to do more teacher-type work that day. I think that's when I developed a crush on him. Just finished the galley! Genius.

Liking for the original 2005 BlogHer crew shout out, for memories from Melinda re: our bag stuffing day & fun with Phil. Good times!

jQuery is worth your time, folks (if you know what it is, but don't know it). That's all I'm saying.
- Micah Wittman
is jquery better than prototype? I have used prototype a lot without any complaints, but have no experience with jquery.

OK Friendfeed email/IM alerts by user/lists are incredibly useful. Please add them for best of day.

Yep, totally agree!
- Susan Beebe
I like that they have expanded the notifications to other lists - but I would *kill* for the ability to pick different IM's for each list
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I finally found a use for the FF desktop app: instead of producing a constant stream (like just another twitter client) I program it for groups, friends I need to follow on the fly. It's very quick to add another alert, or pair it down if the stream gets too dense (ie: unreadable) or annoying. But, the most important missing element is to be able to create alerts for saved searches.

(and for realtime Saved searches :)

it would be helpful to have a small number to the right of each group or user/list to see total new since last time to that page.

WOT (Web of Trust) rates every site for trustworthiness, vendor reliability, privacy, and child safety, and shows you the results using simple-to-scan coloured icons. (Red for bad, green for good.) When you do a search in Google or another website, you'll see the icons and know what you're in for if you visit.

Leo Laporte gave like 30 of those people their starts in tech, and I can't find him on that list.

Matthew - he's on there.

Oh, there he is. Good.
- Matthew DeVries
Leo is there but I am not. Sigh.
- Robert Scoble
Robert Scoble , your not on there...wazzup wit dat?..
- Bill Heslin
That's pretty compelling that these stories are coming straight from Twitter then. Any independently written story would have listed you, cause, duh.
- Matthew DeVries
This is like one of those "Top 100 Guitar gods" lists and they don't include Hendrix.
- Matthew DeVries
Wait, Robert doesn't appear in everyone's Twitter stream by default?
- invariant - farewell FF
lol justine on there - wonder if she wasnt a default would she be listed? so many others who should have been included.. oh well - remember these lists are linkbait first
- Allen Stern
lol invariant. I thought that also..default signup. Robert Scoble is your new bestest friend...
- Bill Heslin
surprised they have Neil Gaiman @neilhimself but not Christopher Moore @theauthorguy I think it is because Moore just tweets bad jokes even though he writes good books LOL
- David Gross
Thanks for the list.
- wowfreeze.blogspot.com
keep looking a little further on the list and you will see leo's name

Yay, Bwana!
