Like a small child quivering alone in his dark bedroom while mommy and daddy yell at each other in the den, I have marked with concern the recent blog posts coming from Eric Peterson and Avinash Kaushik.
To be fair, it would appear that the first blow was struck by Avinash in his post entitled “Web Analytics Demystified“, which is of course the name of not only Eric’s book but also his consulting business.
And then today I notice a post over one Eric’s blog entitled “Web Analytics: An Hour a Day” which of course is the title of Avinash’s book.
Well, what goes on here? is what I want to know. Here are some possibilities:
- We have seen the first rift in two distinctly different schools of thought as they relate in approach to web analytics. Making way for the inevitable fulfillment of Chris Grant’s prophecy.
- Eric and Avinash are experimenting with being a Fred?
- Eric and Avinash are pulling some sort of friendly joke on each other, and forgot to tell me, not knowing that my world collapses when people I look up to start fighting.
But seriously, I hope that this is all a cool web2.0 thing that we will all look back and laugh about in a month or two, but if it is really a fight, I put my money on…. Oh I don’t know. In the words of Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get along?”
Final Thoughts:
Dang you, Mike Keyes for beating me to the punch on this post!
