“Even a Venture Capitalist is interested to look into Google Analytics reports today”
In this presentation, delivered at the Google Analytics Great Users’ Event New York 2011, Phil Mui (Lead Product Manager for Google Analytics), walks us through the evolution journey that brought Google Analytics to where it is today.
Phil starts the presentation from 2005, when Google acquired Urchin in order to build Google Analytics. He describes the interactions that improved the product, first from a UI perspective and then from a structure and feature-wise perspectives.
What comes next?
