Avinash Kaushik’s Book Update

Sometimes I don’t follow my RSS feeds for a month or more. Mostly because it’s hard to try and digest all the worlds information every day and if it’s really important I’m sure I’ll catch wind of the news somehow.

Today I opened my RSS reader (Vienna for osX) and clicked on a post in Occam’s Razor (Avinash Kaushik’s blog). He was updating readers on the success of his book after being on the shelves for 8 months. He also included pictures received from fans holding the book and the various language translations.

He re-posted the picture I had taken of my analytics notebook while I was studying in a Bay Area coffee shop. The day I had taken these notes I made a Twitter post and “@ replied” Avinash. That’s how he ran across my picture.  After my pic, Avinash left some thoughts on our lunch meeting and what it meant to him to see my 40 pages of notes. It was pretty cool to see him publish my picture alongside so many other people who have found immense value in the pages of his (1st) book.

If you have any interest at all in improving your web analytic’s expertise, or at the very least want more control when it comes to data-driven decision making, you need to read Avinash’s blog.

…and make sure to take notes!
