This weekend I created the Alter Ego Social Network so I could learn how to use Google Analytics. Turns out that Google Analytics isn’t that difficult to learn and I might have over did by creating www.alteregosocialnetwork.com
Maybe I will go into the business of making social networks from home LOL
I’ve installed Google Analytics and have verified the status for the site.

The thing about Google Analytics that boggles the mind is that once you install it, it really does take like 24 hours for the data to start to stream. I sat and watched it with a stop watch and never blinked one time.
Here is an example page from the first site where I installed Google Analytics.
I hope the image that I uploaded to the note will appear some how by magic. This is only the second time I’ve used this wordpress GUI so if the image doesn’t show up, it’s only because I didn’t click all the correct buttons or enter all the correct form input, or set the categories or make the pages visiable or do WHATEVER this site needs in order to display a stupid image. It’s all really funny to me. :D
Last week on Thursday, I became very interested in actually seeing what Google Analytics really does for businesses. When I become interested in something, I never hesitate to seriously and thoroughly experiement.
This experiement is called the “Alter Ego Social Network” and so far, I have seen many things and laughed alot.
I created the Alter Ego Social Network over the weekend of August 10 in order to learn about the Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Google Gadget Developement and everything I could find about about social networking technologies and online advertising platforms. The entire project cost roughly $500.
I used a NING.com social network template. NING is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a minute.
Google Analytics is better than all the other analytics platforms that I’ve seen (which is zero).
I will start blogging about using Google Analytics as I receive data from Google AdSense.
I am also following the developement of the Cloud Computing market. Cloud Computing is an abstract concept that vaugley reminds me of the old days of Grid Computing of 2006-7 but Clould Computing flat out puts Grid Computing to SHAME. IMHO
