New Ecommerce Tracking and Validation in the Analytics SDK for iOS

Image
Today we’re happy to announce that Google Analytics SDK for iOS version 1.2 has been released. This new version supports Ecommerce tracking as well as the new debug and dry run modes, just like its Android counterpart. Ecommerce Tracking With Ecommerce mobile tracking, you can capture transaction and product information, send the data to Google Analytics, and then analyze which products performed best. Of course, because this is all within Google Analytics, you can also tie transaction data back to app usage behavior. See the Google Analytics SDK for iOS developer docs to learn how to implement this feature. Debug and Validation In addition to Ecommerce, we’ve added new debug and dry run modes to make it easier to validate your Google Analytics implementation. Debug Mode: [[GANTracker sharedTracker] setDebug:YES]; With debug mode, all data requests to Google Analytics are sent to the debug console.

Alleged iPad Nano Clone Is Quite Impressive Specs-wise

Image
It’s called the Timesnap, a wrist gadget that’s so packed with features we’re surprised it isn’t a smartphone as well. Fundamentally a well endowed MP3 and MP4 player, the Timesnap packs 4GB of storage space and video playing capabilities. It’s a mean muzack player to boot and has an upgradable SD memory (goes to 8GB). On top of these lovely attractions, the Timesnap–hold your breath–is also an e-reader, though we doubt reading text from such a small screen would be enticing. (...)

Image
Having trouble selecting those tiny links with your big, ol' digits on that swanked-out slab? Don't you worry, Google's just made some slate-friendly improvements to its bread and butter search site, and it's available for iPad and Honeycomb 3.1+ users. On deck for this UI refresh: a much simplified search results page, larger-sized buttons and text, and a quick access button located below the search box that skips you off to 'Images, Videos, Places, Shopping and more.' There's also been some visual tweaks made to its image search results, with enlarged previews, faster thumbnail loading and continuous scrolling. If you're not seeing this overhauled layout just yet, sit tight -- the update's expected to roll out in the next few days.

Google wants to speed up your site, while resisting the urge to sell you stuff

Image
Google has plenty of things going for it, but patience has never really been high on the list -- not surprising, really, for a company that employs scooters to get around the halls of its offices. The search giant has taken a similar approach to the web, offering up a number of services to help speed things up around the old tubes. Page Speed Service is the latest simply named initiative on that front, which has apparently offered up speed improvements of 25 to 60 percent in its early testing phases. How does this magical quickening work? Google grabs content from your servers, rewrites pages with performance best practices, and sends them out through its own servers. The service has raised a few eyebrows, but Google insists that Page Speed Service is all about improving performance, not collecting information for future advertising opportunities.

Google launches service to improve web page load times

In its ongoing quest to make the Internet all that much faster, Google is once again turning to the techies - this time to give a test run to the latest addition to its Page Speed family, called Page Speed Service. The service, which makes web pages load faster, has produced speed improvements of 25-60 percent on some site. In a blog post released this morning, the company explains: Page Speed Service fetches content from your servers, rewrites your pages by applying web performance best practices, and serves them to end users via Google’s servers across the globe. Your users will continue to access your site just as they did before, only with faster load times. Now you don’t have to worry about concatenating CSS, compressing images, caching, gzipping resources or other web performance best practices. Google’s work to improve the page-loading times has been ongoing. Two years ago, the company released a Page Speed browser extension and earlier ...
