Posted in January 23rd, 2008

by tdrapeau in Flock, Web Browsers

A few things I wish Flock would implement soon:

I spent some time today on the blog, doing a bunch of things I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I signed up for Google Analytics, Sitemeter, and Quantcast. A little overkill, maybe, but I’m evaluating these traffic analysis sites to see which is the best fit for me.

Mashable reports that Marcien Jenckes, who I had the pleasure of working for at AOL, has landed as the CEO of Voxant.
