The new EU cookie laws explained in 2½ minutes. A good summary, but also arguably misleading as it is still undecided whether tracking is considered “essential” or not yet. Via @dan_hud on Twitter.

It’s me - being interviewed by Vitaly Vlasov of NevaCamp about GoSquared and how real-time web analytics can help improve your site and business.
By the way, The Next Web conference was awesome - I highly recommend it to anyone who’s a) running a web business, and b) who wants to party in Amsterdam.
If you have a spare hour or so, here’s me talking about how we built GoSquared.
The talk consists of Q and A with Salim Virani and various members of the audience with questions ranging from how we got started to best practices for A/B testing, as well as a little discussion about what GoSquared’s technology stack looks like.
It was a pleasure to speak at the LeanStartup meetup, and I’m very grateful to everyone who turned out to listen and ask questions.
Hope you enjoy it.

Don’t believe us? Go and try it out, but don’t write to us if your computer explodes and destroys your entire neighbourhood). At GoSquared we discovered that if we divided by zero under specially controlled conditions, we could create a small but effective wormhole in the fabric of time and space. By maintaining this wormhole in a high-energy plasma state we are able to pass electrical signals between here and any time in the future we wish. And by ensuring that the other end of the wormhole is continuously connected to a high-speed internet connection, we are able to retrieve browsing data for websites at any time in the future.
