Yeah, I’d love to collect a list of PMetrics wishes, but also make sure that I don’t do something that you P-bodys are already putting into the next edition of PMetrics. (If you ever watched the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, you’ll get the reference

Before implementing moving averages you are allowed to have a healthy refreshment higher on your priority list

Moving averages is an interesting but advanced feature, lots of other people have ideas what we should work on too! I guess we all have ideas what the priorities are, heh

Raj, that really sounds good. What a pity that I don’t use WP
PM me if you want to show off some pre-alpha!

In the meantime you could motivate the p.com team further on with ‘moving averages’ … I’d like to have that and I also mentioned it a couple of times. I used a Yahoo stock graph to illustrate my wishes. Maybe somebody didn’t like that

Markus: I’m hoping to include FB stats in my PMetrics WP plugins. I’m also working on a RIA (Rich Internet Application) interface using Ajax. I’m using a “mature” Ajax dev environment, but it’s not free. So I’ll have to look into pricing and see whether I can afford it or not. If I can, you’ll be able to choose between WordPress plugins and the Ajax web app.

On the other hand, the community edition of the Ajax IDE is free. Anyone wanting to use my free code could download the IDE, install it on their desktop/ laptop, along with my code (if that doesn’t violate terms). I’m being discreet on purpose. I have a bad habit of announcing things and not doing them if I announce too many details.

I already have a mockup of the Ajax RIA (ARIA ) for viewing PMetrics, but I’m waiting to see if the PMetrics API changes before I commit some scarce hours. But I will be announcing some details of the plugins, once I’m close to release. Ahmed and I are doing these plugins together, and we have to be in sync.

And I am not sure that PMetrics should reinvent the wheel. Maybe PMetrics one day can use the FB API to include the FB stats.

It’s not impossible to obtain donna, but it’s tricky, and we dont currently provide it.

If you really need to know, use feedburner and 302 to the new feed.

On sites i dont use FB on i just take the bloglines subscribers number and multiply by 3 and that gives me a pretty good rough count.

Is there any way to determine subscriber counts and report on those? In other words, show me how many are subscribed to the feed via bloglines, my yahoo, etc? Or is this impossible data to obtain?

Main menu f.a.q. (http://performancing.com/about/faq) is not containing any data about it.

Oh I see … http://performancing.com/metrics/handbook/faq/lights … well, pretty deep inside.

Include a link into the main f.a.q!

It’s a usability thing … put a link to the manual on the page of ‘Step 1′ or even better on every PMetrics page!

I think I don’t have to go too deep into the details … you get it
