Updates to Omniture on LiveJournal

Sep 17, 2007 12:25

We’re making a change to the way we've been gathering statistics on LiveJournal and wanted to let you know the plan and details in advance.

Back in January, we announced that we'd start using Omniture SiteCatalyst as the system that lets us dig deeper into how members and visitors use LiveJournal. Back then, we had only used Omniture's tracking ( Read more... )

I would like an explanation for this too.

They were tired of cat-macros?

cacahuate September 17 2007, 20:02:38 UTC

Come on, we all know it takes at least a few pages for the cat macros to kick in. They never had a chance!

entropy_house September 17 2007, 20:09:26 UTC

It's unfair, we should start out with cat-macros. I picked up some really good ones during the last couple of protests.

I would also like an explanation of this, please.

I'm puzzled as to why LJ users would have felt the need to comment on:

an entry that was merely a link to another site
an entry which announced something about which LJ users have nothing to say.

Were LJ users going to get a say in who the CEO is? Ask about what Barak was doing? And what purpose would that serve?

What company ANYWHERE does that?

BUT THEN WHERE WOULD THEY POST THE MACROS AND PIRATE POEMS?!!!

txvoodoo September 17 2007, 20:32:31 UTC

So true, so true. It's a shame these people don't have some kind web service where they can post any little thing that's not related to the issue at hand and that flits through their brain for the amusement of their friends, isn't it?

You know, something like a....JOURNAL? ;)

Please feel free to instruct me in the ways of brilliant sarcasm.

I think a lot of people are more upset that comments were enabled and then all of a sudden disabled. At least that's why it bothers me. If they don't want comments, don't enable them to begin with.

txvoodoo September 17 2007, 20:43:02 UTC

err, no. They enable comments on things where contributions, questions and thoughts from LJ users are appropriate.

What would LJ users have said here? That the new CEO's resume wasn't fandom-friendly enough?

You have the right to post with comments enabled or disabled on YOUR lj. Should they not have the same right?

twocorpses September 17 2007, 20:46:33 UTC

They do have the same rights, that's what I'm saying.

That post originally had comments enabled and if they did not want any sort of user input they should not have enabled them at all for that post.

txvoodoo September 17 2007, 20:53:42 UTC

Have you ever made a post and thought "I should leave comments disabled on this" and then forgotten to do it?

This is why the "edit" function exists - to correct mistakes.

Or, maybe they just saw the first few craptastic comments coming through (and the stupid stuff started RIGHT away) and said "hell, we don't need that for THIS issue. ENOUGH MACROS."

I love how we, as users, are allowed to make mistakes or change our minds as much as we want, but LJ and the HUMANS that run it aren't allowed the same "luxury".
