Revealing Analytics

I was just checking the Google Analytics reports for my portfolio and found interesting referring keywords that send people to my page. Take a look at this one search term that was typed in by someone who visited my portfolio page:

“(intitle:~cv or inurl:~cv) and (“ui developer” or “developer ui” or “user interface developer” or “developer graphic user interface” or “gui developer” or “developed gui”) and (pa or pennsylvania or “new jersey” or ny or delaware or de) -jobs -careers -sample”

Fashion your Firefox

Mozilla just put up a new website that let’s users discover more add-ons for Firefox. It’s an interesting way of helping users to identify extensions that are of interest to them by relating the suggestions to persona-style categories like these:

  • Finder and Seeker: “I want to make finding information on the Web simpler and more relevant to me.”
  • Rock Star: “Music and the Web go together like rock stars and leather — I love to listen while I surf, work, email or research online.”
  • News Junkie: “I want to know what’s happening in the world as it happens. And the weather helps me plan my week — temperature, please!

Red is here!

I’m excited to announce that my friends and former mentors Trek and Jesse from Backtik have released the first version of Red. In their screencast they show us how to build an AJAX photobucket similar to the one from Facebook just using Ruby without writing any Javascript at all.
