We're about to take a bit of a break, so we thought we'd say "Hope you enjoy your break".
I'd also like to say a big "thanks" to all who have shared ideas on marketing better through posts, comments and shares over the year. We're looking forward to sharing more of the latest insights with your help next year.
We would also like to thank all the talented folk who worked hard to create the new SmartInsights.com including designers Anna Weaver and Chris Leach of First 10, Paul Rouke of usability company PRWD, plus James Wray and Alasdair Wightman. Thanks guys!
We've covered a lot of tools to help with analysis and planning, so will end the year with one more recommendation. Since we've launched the new site we've started using the excellent Clicky alongside Google Analytics. Here's an idea of where our site visitors are based from earlier today.
The map uses Clicky's map for the last 1,000 visitors. Not so useful maybe, but there are plenty of other useful features we do recommend and we'll cover in a post next year.
