“There are Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics.”~Mark Twain & Benjamin Disraeli

You’ve heard the phrase before, you’ve probably even been a victim of the results. But the facts stand when you run a website you need a reliable metrics to measure how well you’re doing and help you figure out what works and what doesn’t. Whether you are running a site for a hobby, or you are setting yourself up for a business account, everyone wants eyeballs on their site.

Its how you know

Woopra is a different type of stats service, still in beta. I’m running the service on CaffiNation.com. My site is running wordpress so I installed their wordpress plugin, added the javascript to the templates and was set to jet. Woopra gives you live results. No waiting to see what the numbers are a day later you can actually watch as people hit your site, and even chat with them as they do It. Although the chat functionality seems to freak people out a bit more than i initially expected it to.

I don’t often get a chance to give my opinion of a good unique product here. There are times when i come across them and I feel the need to jump on it. Canned Coffee is quite popular in Asia, I am told, but beyond the horrible Starbucks Doubleshots and frappicinos they are few and far between state-side.

One of my Favorite spots to eat on campus, Temple University Main Campus, is the Japanese & Korean Lunch Truck that was featured in this episode of Philly Food Guys. Teppanyaki is some good food let me tell you. I work on a college campus so the lunch truck thing never bothered me. But this truck is special beyond the fantastic food, they also carry Hello Boss Coffee. The can has changed recently but the flavor is the same. Its no where near healthy for you but it is awesome stuff. (more…)

I sort through a lot of different articles and press releases in order to bring only the freshest and most interesting content to the Site. I’m always on the lookout for great pieces of Caffeine Culture to bring to you. A week ago I was sent information of a product which caught my eye. Golden Star Tea is a non alcoholic sparkling beverage. To be served as you would Champagne or White wine. I contacted the company and was lucky enough to be sent a sample to try.

What I received in the mail was an example of what people should send with their products. The two sample sized bottles of Golden Star Tea came with an information packet which answered any and all questions I might have had about the beverage. Nutritional information, the official press release, recent awards, and a letter from the Co-Founder Joel Rosenberg. Before we go any further, thank you for making my experience and my work that much easier and more enjoyable from the moment the box opened
