Content Management Matters ™

In the very Danish early evening here at the jboye08 conference your sometimes faithful correspondent was present to witness the ever faithfully entertaining Web Idol competition.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, Web Idol is a semi-serious but mostly humorous event loosely based on the extremely popular (with people we don't know) American Idol TV show.

The Web Idol version is a bit of a hoot but at the same time provides a line-up of Web CMS vendors with a chance to strut their latest stuff in front of a crowd of leading web practitioners.

Web analytics has become increasingly mainstream. And with advent of web events vs. pages, video analytics and now the surge of mobile content metrics, the field has become a rather complex one.

I'm sitting in the one of the many workshops kicking off the JBoye 2008 conference here in Arhus, Denmark. Our fearless leader this morning is Phil Kemelor, a rather Zen-like fellow who's quite the web analytics guru and also the author of The CMS Watch Web Analytics Report.

Our objective today? We're going to trim some noise from the analytics fray and focus on how to make the practice of web analysis function more effectively. Come along for the ride.

We've mentioned it before, but now have a lot more detail on the upcoming jboye08 conference scheduled for November 4-6 in Denmark. It's shaping up to be an event you won't want to miss.

Early bird registration is going on from now until July 1st for the 4th international jboye08 conference, a meeting of global gurus in Aarhus, Denmark. The conference brings together IT practitioners from all over the world in order to share and learn in an open environment. It is described as intense, with discussions, demos and interaction from the attendees.
