And winner of the goofiest web traffic analysis tool goes to….
This thing will monitor your site traffic in real-time by embedding a code into your pages that pings their database when page is delivered. It then renders the data as a SimCity-style town, with visitors from search engines getting off buses to visit your pages. The pages are viewed as houses, for low traffic, or skyscrappers for high traffic.
I dunno if this would actually help analyze your traffic better than other tools out there but it certainly looks more entertaining.
Thanks to Dennis on The Well for pointing this out.

MT 3 Released.
Six Apart, the makers of MovableType (used right here) have released their next version which has dramatically altered licensing terms. You can see the furor at the launch annoucement trackbacks. Props to them for leaving TB enabled on that post!
I haven’t gone through the new terms in detail yet but I think that none of the licenses exactly fit the level of activity we see eventually having at work by not allowing enough authors and blogs under the top-end license. I’m sure they would be willing to give us a custom quote and the pricing in general seems reasonable for us at work but we are a rather large non-profit with budget for that kind of thing.
A lot of the outrage is coming from the small shops and independent bloggers. From what I can tell they are definitely not served well by the new licenses.

The Process of Web Management
Web content management a process, not a project is a nice post by Gerry McGovern.
The gist is that if you treat your site as a project it will begin to age and get out of date the minute the “project” is completed. Treating your site as an ongoing management process helps to avoid some of those problems. However, it does take more time, resources and dedication than a one-off project, which is why many organizations don’t go that route.
