Web analytics is of immeasurable importance to anyone who works in any Internet based profession, but it could also be something fun for any Internet user to play with and understand.

So whenever I find a new web analytics tool, I am all over it…

And recently I just came across a website that analyzes data from one of my most visited sites on the web, Digg.com, so now I’m really excited!

The site is quite robust and features a lot of useful and interesting information, as well as all sorts of options for sorting and displaying the statistical data on Digg and its Dugg sites.

The website is called Dugg Analyzer, so check it out.

Also, post any interesting/useful information you may find regarding Digg as comments to this post.

I love Digg and other social bookmarking websites. They are the news sites for the Internet- by Internet users, for Internet users. But as great as they are, they are also known as “Site Killers”. If a blog with very little bandwidth in it’s hosting package gets picked up by Digg or any of the other social bookmarking websites, and it all of a sudden gets a massive amount of hits, it can go down. And this can be a pain for both the website administration and the user.

In fact, there have been countless amount of times where I have found a very interesting link, and I could not see it because the site has gone down! So, to fix this I have been using a very useful Firefox extension, Mr. Uptime. The extension works by popping up whenever you arrive at a web page that is down and asking if the web page should be bookmarked for later.

If you decide the website is important enough and would like to bookmark it. Mr. Uptime will now keep an eye on the site, and it will alert you once the web page goes back up.

Thank you Mr. Uptime!
