Virus of the Mind
Richard Brodie

This book is absolutely fascinating. I have read it twice and also bought the audible version. Becoming conscious of what information you are downloading into your most important storage device — your brain — is critical in today's fast paced, digital society.

"The word pay in "pay attention" is quite apt. As conscious beings, attention is our most precious commodity. Attention is a piece of our consciousness, a slice of our human life." - Page 98

Get Clicky Web Analytics

Traffic data for your Website is a veritable gold mine. The problem is accessing that data quickly, easily, and in an interface that just makes sense. The majority of analytics services fail in all regards. You wouldn't be here if your current analytics service met your needs. The good news is that Clicky is different. Clicky is a real time web analytics service. This means that when you log in and view your stats, you are seeing up to-the-minute data on the traffic to your web site. Most services don't let you see what's happening "today" until the day after. Learn more about Get Clicky.

"Get Clicky is the best tracking software I have used.  Real Time = Real Results! All of our clients are getting clicky and loving it." - Deirdre Cavener, President of Kiss Marketing, Inc.
