Jeff Veen, MeasureMap & Google

Jeff Veen,one of the well known faces of adaptive path joins Google after measuremap got acquired recently. Measuremap analytics was launched with the aim of bringing power of web analytics to help bloggers feel that same sense of connection with their audience. Measuremap may end up complementing Google analytics, one of the poular services that Google launched recently. Jesse James Garret of adapativepath wrote about AJAX almost an year back. Sensing the impact that this could make to the web world, I blogged about it on Feb22, 2005, as soon as it was published. Much of the web2.0 progress can be related to this as well. Peter Merholtz writes about Jeff Veen’s departure and measuremap sellout. Jeff has always been very popular and am tracking his works from early dotcom days –during his days at Lycos, Wired etc. He is a real force to watch – here’s wishing him well and Google has undoubtedly got a good product and good talent – Now its time for Google to make blogger perform well. The way blogger is having issues – Google would soon catch up with Microsoft - in providing questionable degree of stable services/support.
