After several failed attempts, I finally got myself out to a Web Analytics Wednesday event – “social networking” (basically having a few beer!) for web metrics types.  A well organized & very friendly community, they are in stark contrast to Search Marketers who have historically not created an information sharing environment for themselves.

There were maybe 40 who came out for yesterday’s event – and not all were strictly web analytics professionals.  As long as you have an interest in the topic you are welcome.  Great way to start making contacts, get answers to burning metrics questions.  I will definitely go again! Look here for upcoming events: http://www.webanalyticsdemystified.com/wednesday/index.asp.  I will also post the next Toronto event before it happens.

Thanks to all who made a SEM specialist welcome.
