Engage 2010: The Last Day
It was a clear day in New Orleans on the last day of the Engage 2010 customer conference, which continued the camaraderie and collaborative learning found in the first and second days. The breakout sessions overflowed, smiles lit the rooms, and the conversations that spilled out in the hallways were punctuated by the sound of [...]

Frank Lilly:
I was interested to hear how valuable "UV's" and page views are to the panelists. Me too. Are you using the PI (page of interest) parameter to capture your Unique Visitor couts ? If so, how to you determine which pages are counted ?
Any tips on how you make a unique tag for each page of interest ?

Hidden Gems and random thoughts
I'm really excited about the Engage conference next week - I hope you are too. Besides all of the great sessions, it's a fantastic opportunity to meet friends - old and new - and learn about how people just like yourself are solving their business problems at their companies. These relationships will carry on well past the conference itself.

A few of us will be heading out for a run each morning before breakfast at the conference. If you're interested in joining us, please drop a reply here, or just meet us at the lobby at 6am.
We don't know New Orleans very well, so we will probably leverage some existing runs we find (does anyone know of any?). Say, 5 miles or so around the city. Perhaps starting with these runs: http://www.mapmyrun.com/find-run/unit....... [read more]

Anybody working on social platforms for inTRAnet scenarios?
I'd be interested in listening to your thinking, lessons learned, and observations about platforms inside the firewall.
Richard:
Interesting! Actually the thought of this recently came to me as I begin focusing more on intranet. I'd be interested in knowing if you are looking at doing the same! I definately see social media, at least for our company, as something working it's way from the inside-out.
Kali Kucera:
If anyone would like to talk more on the subject, tonight at Pat O'Briens would be a good opportunity. Just let me know and we'll meet up.

Webtrends and MOSS SharePoint
Let's talk. Also tracking videos in SharePoint is of interest. Any best practice documentation out there?
Kali Kucera:
Would love to listen too. This has to do with my post as well.
Michael Cook:
With video tracking it all comes down to the model of delivery.
Is the video hosted or local content?
Is it embedded content?
What wrapper is being used? (e.g., Silverlight, plug-in, etc...)
The approach will be based on the answers to these three questions.
There are both a video and portal science fair booth open during the morning coffee break tomorrow. Come by to either one and we can discuss it in more detail.

Thanks Michael, good discussion. For any other SharePoint users out there, let's try and connect before the end of the conference.

Are you relating these back to various on-line campaigns?

I beleive all presentation are going to be put on-line by WebTrends. If not email directly and I'll be happy to send them to you.

RSS Feed Tracking with WebTrends
I wonder if anyone has experiences tracking RSS Feeds with WebTrends. I'd be interested in technical details as well as from a business point of view.
Louis Soran:
Are you talking about tracking the distribution and consumption of the feeds themselves or tracking the traffic you receive from RSS feeds? We use FeedBurner to serve many of our RSS feeds, and while they do provide us with some high level numbers on distribution, we pay the most attention to the traffic that actually ends up on our site. We give the links in our RSS feeds a couple of extra parameters that we then use WebTrends to report on (FeedName and FeedType). You can even track RSS feeds in the same way you would track a Marketing Campaign using a WT.mc_id, which would allow you to leverage the visitor history and the Marketing Campaign reports.
Till Schönberner:
Thanks for your answer, Louis. I am looking forward to meeting you these days.
I'd like to set up a tracking of RSS from scratch to draw basic conclusion about the acceptance of different feeds.
I think feed requests, item views and click on feed link (for further detail) are reasonable metrics to measure.
Your whole distribution goes over FeedBurner? We're planning to distribute the feeds with an own tool. How do you get the figures from FeedBurner into WebTrends?
So you don't track the views of an RSS item at all?
For the links, do you track those clicks on the profiles for the diffrents clicks or do you use a specific WebTrends-Profile to track all RSS Feeds?

Presentation Karaoke is a blast if you've never tried it. All presentations are selected beforehand. Each presenter sees the PowerPoint for the first time on stage along with the audience. A panel of American Idol style judges provides valuable feedback to each presenter following their performance. The bigger the crowd, the more fun it is. Don't miss it.

User Experience Revolution at Webtrends
2009 was a big year for Webtrends. 2010 will be much bigger. Justin Garrity, the director of User Experience, will present the radical shift that has taken place at Webtrends regarding design and usability
Justin Garrity:
he title should be: The User Experience Revolution Continues :)
2009 was a big year at Webtrends and for Webtrends customers. We updated TagBuilder, introduced the URL Generator for consumption of our new REST based Web Services, Introduced Analytics 9 Insight, and updated OnDemand's look and feel. Compared to 2010, 2009 will seem tame.
During this presentation, I will walk through the thinking behind the UX revolution and introduce ideas and concepts that are shaping 2010.
