  1. Thanks for the mention! I suppose I should have the integrity to point out that one of the posts of mine you link to was written in 2006 (Data geekery, movie style) but I’ve written other posts this year I would perhaps humbly nominate under categories other than analytics:

    Beyond Foodtweets: Social Media Optimization (SMO) for Small Business

    How Viral Marketing is Like Writing a Hit Song

    Thanks again! It’s a good round-up.

  2. Kate,

    Thanks.

    Not sure how I missed that post being 2006. I have removed that off the list. If I do a best of decade, I will come back and visit 2006.

    -John

  3. John,

    Much love for the mention. You are a giant among all of us!
