MeasureMap aquisition email
Wednesday, February 15th, 2006Just woke up and found in my email the best news this year. MeasureMap got bought by Google. Thew news is already on the main tech blogs but I haven’t seen the email nowhere so here you have it.
Congratulations guys. I think that I haven’t been happier before on an aquisition. You REALLY deserved this:
I want to share some important news with our earliest users of Measure Map.
Since its inception, my colleagues and I have seen tremendous potential for Measure Map to influence how people blog, and how they understand participation on the Web. We have always expected it to be big, and as such, our desire was to give Measure Map its start and then send it out into the world to grow and evolve into a strong, meaningful application.
Through the dedication of a fantastic team, along with your tremendous support in the form of feedback, feature requests, and overwhelmingly positive comments, have built a product that is fundamentally different from every other analytics application available today. We’re both grateful and proud.
So I said there was news, and here it is: I’m writing you to announce that Measure Map has been acquired by Google, effective today. For the near term, you will see no difference in its operations. In the not so distant future, you can expect great things from this acquisition. We couldn’t be happier to find such an ideal home for Measure Map, and are thrilled at the possibilities.
While this is a milestone for all of us at Adaptive Path, this sale does not affect how we operate, nor will it alter the structure of the Adaptive Path organization. Adaptive Path is still here, stronger than ever, and it will be for a long time to come. Above all, we remain
committed to the principle that superior user experience inspires innovation and creates business advantage. Thank you again for your input, your time, and your support of Measure Map. Should you have any questions or comments about any of this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
For more information, please see our post on the Google Blog:

Sincerely,
Jeffrey Veen and the Measure Map and Adaptive Path teams

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006Ajax Libraries and Design Patterns from Yahoo
Tuesday, February 14th, 2006Yahoo just made public a set of Ajax Libraries and Design Patterns under very friendly licenses. From the first look I had they worth having a look at them.

Google Domains vs. Custom Live Domains
Tuesday, February 14th, 2006Today I’ve read one of the most disturbing posts lately. It’s written by Robert Scoble and asks some serious questions about why the blogosphere is not giving the proper credit to Microsoft for the ideea of hosting emails for custom domains. Still dizzy after a period of jet lag I run out to my ouija board for a reality check. The answers where disturbing in nature also. Here is what I found:
Google, by digging through dirty emails of the bloggers that are using gmail and those porn files transfered on their servers with the help of Google Desktop, has started an evil game based on blackmail and corruption to change the history of the internet.
If that wasn’t enough my ouija board also infirmed the following affirmations:
- It is not true that Hotmail is the lamest email service around
- It is not true the fact that Microsoft doesn’t give 2 cents on users outside US and doesn’t consider that the rest of the world is living in the Dark ages with the following line: 250MB inbox available only in the 50 United States, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Eligible Hotmail users will first receive 25MB at sign-up.
- It is not true that Hotmail and Kahuna have the WORST advertising banners that make everyone go nuts instantly.
- It is not true that your Hotmail account will be terminated after 30 days of inactivity
- It is not true that Yahoo offered the same service long before Microsoft had any lame ideea
Now the world finally knows the true nature of evil…I think that for this year Halloween’s will be trendy Larry and Serghei costumes.

You take a content inventory because, before redesigning a website or intranet, you need to know what you have. This is especially important if you will be migrating your content to a new structure or new CMS - at some point you need to know every single
