Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that “smart phones“ are kind of a big deal. I've seen lots of stats thrown around, but I've never been able to fully trust Neilsen net ratings. I like to look at the data on my own.
So I dove into Google Analytics and created a mobile browser segment designed to look for smart phone web browsers, and looked at the 3 month period ending Februrary 16th. There were 586 mobile visits in that…

While we were building out the new iMarc website, a colleague and I had a vehement disagreement over link behavior. There is a link to the Newburyport Chamber of Commerce on the about page, and my esteemed colleague Karin wanted it to open in a new window — because when she opens a link leading off any site, she wants a new window to preseve her old one.
