Added some Woopra to the site!!

So... what the heck is Woopra then? Well, you may ask. It's actually a live tracking system for site visitors. It even allows us to chat to you.... live. If we have the time, obviously.

Previously we've used Google Analytics. But as Asa Dotzler would say, Google already know far too much about everybody as it is. So we are going to jump ship, for a second time.

You might have read that about a year ago we dumped the AdWords advertising that Google offered because while Google require YOU to pay THEM in 14 days, they get 3 calendar months to send you anything you've earned. Nice.

Asa, incidentally, is one of the men behind yours truly's favourite web browser, namely FireFox. He's also had quite a bee in his bonnet about Google. Including this rather sneaky plug for Chrome when searching for FireFox.

Slowly I see that mists of what I like to call the "Willy Wonka" factor are lifting off Google. Wonka, you'll of course realise ran a sweet company. Google on the other hand run an advertising company that happen to have a "good" search engine. I'm using the quote marks because for the last two years I've noticed a steady decline in the accuracy and effectiveness of the Google search engine SHOCK HORROR!

Enough of this though... it's late (or is that early) and research won't do itself.
