I just got an email from Google, outlining the new updates they will be doing to Google Analytics. I'm super excited about everything that they're adding, so I wanted to outline a few of the updates:
Real-Time Analytics: You will now be able to track the activity on your site, with up to the second updates. This is awesome for evaluating user experience. Gotta love the cloud.
Multi-Channel Funnels: This applies especially towards eCommerce sites. You will be able to track data about customer interaction, which they call "conversions." Every customer that goes through your website and completes a transaction through the eStore is considered a conversion. This is trackable for up to 30 days, so even if a customer initially clicks a link but doesn't buy the product for a month, you'll be able to see what they did on your site for those 30 days before buying the product. Really useful for updating how your eStore functions, and creating a more dynamic funnel to the checkout.
Mobile Reports: Finally, Google is paying more attention to SEO on mobile phones. User data in this category will even include which brands and models of phones are being used to access your site.
Flow Visualization: Now, this one's insane. The basic idea is that you will now be able to track specific traffic patterns, learning exactly how your users interact with your site. You really have to see it in action to understand, so here's a tasty little video for your consumption:

Google may be adding a Music Store to the Android Market. Apparently, a blog based in Venezuela has reported that they received access to an unreleased version of Google Music Store.
The question is, with the iTunes store, Amazon's Cloud Player, and Spotify, is there room for Google in the music market?
Those who have Android phones currently get most of their music from iTunes, and even with a music store through the Android Market, I feel it will be difficult to break people from their attachment to iTunes. There comes a point where an Android user will end up buying some music on iTunes, some through Google Music Store, and then having to transfer files to and from each program to make sure that their overall library is established properly on multiple devices.
Would you get tired of something like that? What do you think of the idea of a music store for Android?

FILET MIG-FRICKIN-NON
some of the best news i've personally heard in a while: google plus has launched business pages!
this may be something that facebookers are already quite used to, but until today there was no availability for companies to create a page for their business on g+.
this is a pretty big step for google, and i believe it will help increase traffic to plus once more. the interface is very stripped down, and lacks a lot of the customization (and clutter) that facebook pages offers. we'll see how things play out, but rest assured my business has already created our page.

Time Out - Time In
Hey everyone,
It's been a loooong time. Let me get you up to date on everything that's been going on:
I've had mono for the past few weeks, so I've been sleeping almost completely 'round the clock.
Let's try to get back on track, shall we?
Most recent buzzworthy news is apparently the divorce of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. Now, normally this isn't really my kind of news. However, it's interesting from a marketing and advertising perspective because Kim was paid something like $20mil in media related fees for getting married. She sold her wedding photos, got paid by E!, even got paid to "advertise" a jewelry brand that outfitted her with dozens of carats worth of diamonds for her ceremony.
On top of all this, a wedding that would have cost $10 million under normal circumstances cost SIGNIFICANTLY less due to all of the discounts and free stuff Kim received for the wedding. PLUS all the gifts the bride and groom got.
Which brings me to my point. It seems as though Kim and Kris (or maybe just Kim, taking Kris through the ringer with her) got paid to put on a show and have a fake wedding. The marraige only lasted over 2 months. It seems pretty fishy....what do you think?
