In a match made in distributed media heaven, the City by the Bay's leading newspaper has hooked up with the Windy City's one and only FeedBurner. SFGate, the online edition of the San Francisco Chronicle, has burned a few hundred feeds, blogs and podcasts, and is now contributing inventory to FeedBurner's ad network for blogs and RSS feeds.

“As one of the first major newspapers to have a Web presence in 1994, SFGate has maintained its commitment to offering valuable Internet services and we continue this tradition by improving the way we distribute news and information,” said Peter Negulescu, Vice President, Digital Media, SFGate.com. “FeedBurner’s analytics reveal a significant percentage of our readers consume content through our RSS feeds, so this deal signifies a logical extension of our overall content strategy. The online advertising revenue opportunity is very promising.”

As the number one newspaper site in Northern California, SF Gate delivers top news stories in addition to popular features such as The Daily Dish!, Mark Morford's Notes & Errata, Tech Talk, the Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giants feeds. Whether you're sittin' on the dock of the bay or sittin' on servers in Silicon Valley, SFGate has feeds for everyone. Far out!

SFGate has also added FeedBurner's groovy FeedFlare service to engage readers with links that make it simple to share individual entries. We like to make it easy to spread the love. Check out today's announcement for the whole story on the SFGate and FeedBurner partnership.

13:11 每天丢掉一点统计数据DB2 学习笔记 - AIView.com » Che, Dong's shared items in Google Reader

不恰当的日志统计设置,可能会导致每天丢掉一部分日志统计数据,请看我犯过的错误。 

我使用awstats 统计日志数据,在config 文件中,我设定如下参数:

LogFile="/home/username/logs/aiview.com/http/access.log"

我在crontab 中设定每天在整点每间隔4个小时运行一次统计更新。

00 0-23/4 * * * ~/jobs/updawt.sh  

我的空间在Dreamhost ,日志生成情况如下,包含当天,一共有最近6天的日志文件,当天的命名为 access.log,前五天加日期后缀,最早的4天压缩存储,第五天不压缩。同时为第五天的日志建立了一个名为access.log.0 的符号连接。

-rw-r--r--  1 root       root      1830112 Apr 16 22:03 access.log
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root       root           21 Apr 16 01:03 access.log.0 -> access.log.2007-04-15
-rw-r--r--  1 xxx        xxx       255078 Apr 11 00:50 access.log.2007-04-10.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 xxx        xxx       222179 Apr 12 00:58 access.log.2007-04-11.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 xxx        xxx       214981 Apr 13 00:07 access.log.2007-04-12.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 xxx        xxx       150369 Apr 14 00:13 access.log.2007-04-13.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root       root      1096740 Apr 16 01:03 access.log.2007-04-15 

我在配置文件中指定的文件名是access.log ,从前,我一直以为awstats 会自动合并access.log.[0-9],也包括这里的access.log.0 ,但刚刚发现,awstats 并不做这件事情,除非详细指定。

结果就是,我会丢失从日志文件发生轮换那一刻起,至最后一次统计更新之间的那部分日志的统计数据,因为它们没有获得被统计的机会,就被重命名为access.log.0 。而依据我的设置,access.log.0 并不在统计范围。

这里还有一些细节,统计数据是否会丢,以及会丢掉多少,还取决于日志轮换的具体时间(并不总是发生在零点),以及我的job 执行间隔与执行时间。无论如何,更改配置文件,使其不依赖于这些不确定因素是好的方法。

我修改了我的统计配置文件如下:

#LogFile="/home/username/logs/aiview.com/http/access.log"
LogFile="./tools/logresolvemerge.pl /home/username/logs/aiview.com/http/access.log /home/username/logs/aiview.com/http/access.log.0 |" 

logresolvemerge.pl 随awstats 程序包提供,你需要指定适用你的正确路径。

03:39 Using Google Analytics with Website OptimizerGoogle Analytics Blog » Che, Dong's shared items in Google Reader
Often, Google develops a product and then watches as users innovate new uses that are exciting in their creativity and utility. Well, we just came across an excellent example that is close to our hearts.

As you may know, Google Website Optimizer was recently made accessible to all AdWords users. We've mentioned it a few times in this blog: it's a multivariate web page testing tool that can help you understand which web page designs really work. It uses a javascript code snippet very similar to Google Analytics'. For example, you may wonder, do more people buy products when your conversion link is: a.) a white button with "Buy NOW!" in lowercase, black, italicized Arial text to the right of the product name, or b.) the word "Purchase" in blue as a link with a blue underline to the left of the product name. What if you found out that version b. saw 70% more clicks than the version a. Wouldn't you use that version for all your pages? With Website Optimizer, you no longer need to guess. Instead, implement both designs and let your users tell you which works better. And then watch these small experiments affect your bottom line.

However, Website Optimizer reports on only one metric -- conversions on links. What if you'd like to know how different versions of the same web page affect other metrics, such as Exit Rate, Average Time on Page, Navigational Analysis or New vs. Returning visitors. Now there's a way - you can integrate Website Optimizer with Google Analytics by making a few modifications to the javascript and to the tracking on the page. Shawn Purtell of ROI Revolution has documented a way to integrate the two that allows some very powerful analysis and action to be taken. For instance, you know that it takes roughly 45 seconds for a visitor to read a certain blog post on your site, but you've noticed in your Google Analytics reports that the average time on page is less than 10 seconds. Clearly, people are seeing your page and leaving before reading the content. Try a few different designs with Website Optimizer, and look at the results in Google Analytics to see which version works better.

This is an unsupported technique, but the folks over at ROI Revolution, a Google Analytics Authorized Consultant, would be glad to walk you through it and have fully documented it here. Great job Shawn, for some innovative experimentation.

Source favicon00:15 报纸的未来 (II) » Bo’s Blog 邵博客
很多读者跟我说,他们觉得互联网不能取代报纸。我同意。就像我在上一篇里开头说的,报纸一些优点,是我觉得“今天”的互联网上的应用没有办法取代的。重点是“今天”。上一篇谈的是过去,下一篇我想对未来做一些猜想。 这一篇,补充三点,做个衔接。 网龄超五年的网民,如果他们每周看和听各种媒体的时间是30至40个小时的话,一半,20个小时以上是花在网络上的。这个简单的数字,有深远的影响。首先,这个数字,是与人种,文化,地域,语言,年龄基本上没有关系的。我想,大多数人会同意,绝大多数人迟早都会上网,那么绝大多数人的网龄都会超过5年。这个状态,在美国5年内就会达到了。在中国的大城市里,10年内应也到了。这时,互联网会成为绝大多数人的主要媒体。其次,目前网上广告只占了所有广告的5-10%(在中国更小),而迟早广告的分布会赶上人的注意力的分布。全球每一年5000亿美金的广告市场,将在接下来的5到10年里大转移。我想这是工业革命和信息革命以来,最大的一次财富转移之一。 第二点,报纸与网络的创新速度。从Mosaic开始的互联网应用,在这20年里面,出现了无数的新的应用。有些应用,甚至还没有成熟,就被新的取代。榕树下可以说是在一个狭窄引用上的非open standard的blog。我想很多用户都看到了它的潜力。但是,open standard的blog一两年里就远远超越了它。与互联网这个新媒体的创新甚至内战比起来,传统媒体由于种种既有经济利益和商业关系的累赘,在这二十年里没有什么变化。我想指出的,是第一点里的数字是基于目前的互联网应用。互联网在未来几年里的创新,会加快人的注意力的转移和广告的转移。 第三点,传统媒体的内战及传统媒体和新媒体的大混战。为什么报纸,电视,电台是分开的?这个问题很愚蠢,但值得问。回答是在很久以前,传播渠道受到物理技术的限制和分隔。报纸是利用的纸张的特殊性 - 低价,易运输 – 传播文字。电台与电视,用了模拟(Analog)技术分别将语音和图像信息挤入无线电波中。有了互联网后(准确的说,是有了以数字技术为基础的标准的加密,传输,解密以及显示技术),文字、语音和图像再也不用分为3家。这场战争,是不分战场的混战。我在纽约时报的一个记者跟我说,他们最近进行了怎么做电视采访的训练。意味深远。有兴趣的朋友,可以去比较以下纽约时报和CNN或Fox News的网站。它们惊人的相似,都是文字、语音和图像的结合。USA Today的网站最近的改版,更在和web 2.0努力靠拢。 这场变革,不会是在Paramount和YouTube之间进行,也不是在New York Times和某个news blog之间。它的战线(如果有战线的话)和规则,不是由技术决定的。如果有规可循的话,我想可以从人吸收外界信息的生理原理开始想。 下一篇再续。 不是卖关子。这篇在香港到上海飞机上完成。接下来几天NovaMed和宝宝树在上海有活动。礼拜三将飞华盛顿去参加世界经济论坛在白宫和美国外交部的一个活动。希望有时间继续写下去。同时能报道一下赖斯同志的近况。
