Being the gadget obsessed, late thirtysomething geek that I am. The notion of Webtrends Analytics Insight being built with web standards pleased me greatly for a number of reasons most notably:

1. I could digest dimensions/measures/reports and add context to them ANYTIME,ANYPLACE ANYWHERE so much so we should have called this release Webtrends Martini !  this link truly shows my age

2. Not having to depend on plugins, adminstrator access,mobile applications, being tied to a particular machine or license is a truly liberating experience, imagine measuring the success of a campaign or understanding your traffic IN traffic on the bus, train, tram or tube…

Well you can! Web standards rock!

Props to all involved in the project to make this happen, its a fantastic addition to the Webtrends arsenal.

In order to demonstrate this I went around the house and I tried Insight on all the internet enabled devices within, below are the results of this experiment.

first off, I tried the humble Blackberry Curve and it worked!

I then moved to the lounge and tried the trusty PS3 browser it worked again.

it also works on the iPhone…

and on the G1 Android phone so well I included an extreme close up (below).

I also tried it on the old PSP (excuse the bling colour) it worked.

And finally…It didn’t work on my Pure Evoke Flow Internet enabled radio

So as a challenge, I urge fellow geeks, technoheads and analysts to try Analytics Insight on the devices that you own and let me know results, I will offer a truly amazing Webtrends pen for the image of Insight on a chumby.
