Tracking Social Media Events and Logged-In Users in Google Analytics with Universal Analytics There was a great post on Technical Marketing about tracking social media events and logged-in users in Google Analytics using the new Universal Analytics. I would like to elaborate on the instructions to make it even easier to set up and get tracking. The following examples use a combination of JavaScript and jQuery. It is possible for these techniques to be used without jQuery, but some code re-factoring would need to be done. Note that the below snippets will be designated as HTML even though they are primarily JavaScript because they should be placed into <script> tags within your HTML files.

Paula Zuccotti documents the things people touch in a day. Paula Zuccotti How many things do you touch in one minute? How about an hour?

Zuccotti—a designer and trends forecaster who founded the Overworld, a consultancy agency that specializes on the interaction between culture and technology—was curious to learn more about how our daily interactions come to define ourselves and what she might be able to learn about the things we “need, appreciate, consume, or simply touch.”

8 advanced Segments for Google Analytics from 8 experts. Check it out When you need insights from your analytics data, some of the most powerful is to segment the data. Advanced segments in Google Analytics gives you all you need. I have the impression that just a small percentage of the Google Analytics users actually uses this strong feature, so I want to show all of you how it can be used. In January I had the pleasure of presenting to SuperWeek conference in Hungary. Pricing and Paying for Cures: Early Experience with HTA of Gene Therapy in the USA In a new OHE Seminar Briefing, Dr Steven Pearson, President of the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), discusses early experiences of using HTA to assess Gene Therapy, setting out four challenges. First, uncertainty about clinical effectiveness makes it difficult for ICER to suggest an appropriate price. Pilot projects with some gene therapies involve five years of instalment payments.
