Re-freshing retweet from RT to…..

November 12, 2009

Usually I tweet about retail supply chain and of course other stuff. But I use Seesmic desktop and not Twitter on the web.

But today I was on Twitter.com and was greeted with a message that my a/c like few others is included in a beta group.

Retweets will now appear as an icon shown in the illustration here.

I am not sure if changing RT with this new icon is a good idea. But a test would be the best way to find out. My guess, Twitter won’t roll this out of beta.
What do you think?


Insights from using (Google’s) advanced segmentation tool

November 11, 2009

I was talking to someone new in online marketing and we were discussing segmenting visitor data.

Take the case of source of visitors to QLogitek’s website for a month. The top illustration indicates that over close to 82% of visitors are people who know us and only 12% find us! Cursory conclusion may be – we have to do more on SEM and SEO.

Now, take the bottom illustration. This shows the source of all visitors who viewed at least 2 pages on our supply chain integration solutions website (aka QLogitek.com). By segmenting the visitor data we can see that about 37% of visitors who come to QLogitek find us via search engines.

Using Avinash Kaushik’s suggestion let us ask so what? The answer to this coming next.
