Avinash has listed the top ten blogs for web analysts to read - Occam's Razor is number one (and quite rightly so). For those that don't know (and I had to ask Avinash at the post eMetrics London dinner what Occam's Razor is) it is the theory of
"The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating, or "shaving off," those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. "
However, I would like to say two congratulations. The first to my fellow European and my new friend (poor woman was subjected to my presentation on web analytics and financial services at the end of two days of presentations) - Aurelie Pols. She's moved up a notch in the top blogs.
Welcome to Anil Batra who has snatched the number ten spot.
If anyone is wondering why I am not on that list. It is because I've only being blogging a couple of months and have spent a lot more time updating my website on web analytics and management information. Nevertheless, I will be blogging more often from now on.
