I have done hundreds of interviews with all kinds of media in my years in web analytics. Some of these interviews have turned out well, some less well, but rarely do I get to participate in a conversation about analytics that afterwards I think “Phew, that was cool.”

A few weeks ago I got to do exactly that thanks to Brent Leary at CRM Essentials.

If you have a few minutes and want to hear my recent thoughts on a variety of subjects including getting started in analytics, the impact of analytics on social media, and the work I’ve done recently on Twitalyzer, please take the time to listen to this interview.

Brent is a totally engaging interviewer and he pushed the conversation along in unexpected ways. I have been getting tons of good feedback already but, as always, I welcome your thoughts and comments.
