No editing of blog posts or comments once submitted?

Hmmmm ... I saw I had an erroneous URL in my previous blog post, but I had no way to edit it.

there's also no apparent way to stay logged in to this site.

:UPDATE: You can update blog posts, but only from the My Blog front page. Interesting. Glad I was wrong about Editing.

Inactive Groups on FastCompany.com

I've been a member of the Web Analytics group since joining FastCompany.com

I posted once in February and another today. No responses to either.

There are nominally 11 members of this group. I'd best most or all of them have some good insights to share. I'd love to hear from them; what's the best way of mobilizing this group?

Quantcast, Compete.com and Google Trends for Websites?

Are you availing of services like Quantcast, Compete.com and Google Trends for Websites? Which ones and why?

On various sites, we've got embedded tracking code from Urchin / Google Analytics, Quantcast, HBX, and Omniture for various clients. Then there's NuConomy, Woopra and Piwik.

Web Analytics

creating the blog moved me to 25%

but adding groups, feeds and newsletters did nothing else to further the completeness of my profile.

The base info of my "profile," btw,, is pretty generic. Compared with other professional networks I use, I feel a bit under-represented.

(now I see blog posts are moderated before they're published - that's understandable, but I don't think it's going to promote the free flow of participation ...)

Completing my Profile

OK - I'm starting to get why my Profile seemed stuck at "13% Complete." It looks like I'm expected to create all the "My" sections from the top here - My Blog, My Feeds, etc. - to push my FastCo profile toward completion. Let's see if that's it.

(Certainly, some of the messaging around that could be a bit more apparent ...)
