Tracking in new Google Docs

As of this date and sad short answer.... They stopped Google Analytics support in the new version Google Docs.

How we track our published Google Documents now!?
Believe they are developing another form of statistic viewing system for our Google Documents.

Really?
Yes really, I was researching my Google Analytics and found out my default website is no longer getting tracked.  Thought I'd best investigate, eventually stumbled upon Google staff reporting, that they are phasing out Google Analytics support in the new Google Docs version

Hi everyone - thanks for taking the time to post. We're phasing out Google Analytics support in our new editors, but we'll be working on alternatives to provide admins with more information about their doc's viewers. 
From this post!

Further note, at one you used to be able to edit the HTML and CSS.  You no longer can't in this current version of Google Docs.  Yet I truly believe they are working some form new alternative.

PS: I still like Google Docs :P

Social People Power in Politics

There are a few petition sites that help fight some of corrupt political agendas.  Normally you just sign and leave it up to the site to show how many email siginatures has been signed for a petition to stop something.

Here is something a little different

Since the SOPA bill has come into huge debate of it's OVERLY heavy weight bill of rushed ideas to stop piracy that can harm the way of the Internet and potentially destroy such popular sites such as reddit.com.

reddit.com started to find ways to help tackle this issue head on and debate tactics to stop candidates that support SOPA act.

The IAMA Request

One particular redditor requested Rob Zerban for an interview with reddit.com and ask what his thoughts are on the  SOPA bill.

12 days later

Since http://www.robzerban.com/ done an IAMA interview on reddit.com.  he has raised far press buzz and money than he could possibly imagine to out beat his challenger Paul Ryan.  Paul Ryan dropped support for SOPA (further verification of this story here and Google News search 'Paul Ryan Sopa' ).

Up for another challenge

reddit.com accepted the challenge to show they can be political force to be reckon with. 


Social people power at it's best :)
