'Reporting' stats is not the same as 'Analysis'. It's all about context. what you say about Time on Site also applies to Bounce Rate for certain sites. If you can find what you're after on one page, then it's hard to have 'decrease our Bounce Rate' as a goal. Hi Ben,

The number of your Twitter followers and the number of re-tweets of your messages could both be seen as an indicator of interestingness. If strangers considering you to be interesting isn't your motivation, and there's nothing wrong in that, it's useful to understand that you can't use the same measurements, and shouldn't consider low numbers as being negative.

I need to get back into the swing of things also. I adore your philosophy of positive action. Of course, many people design their own website or socialmedia site for either a) expression, b) social networking and/or c) the water-cooler moment (as in what everybody is talking about). Microblogging has certainly changed things and together with Web 2.0 I don't think the ol' W3 has ever looked so good. r Good to see you blogging again.
