We’ve always taken pride in offering great customer support to you, our loyal customers.

Sometimes you want to help yourself – you don’t want to wait on one of the team for a reply. That’s why we’re introducing GoSquared Answers – an easy way to ask us a question publicly. You’ll get a response from us, but you may also receive a response from other members of the GoSquared community who are willing to help.

Last week, our good friends at Panic introduced a beautiful new iOS app called Status Board.

Staus Board is probably the most beautiful way to display the stats and data that matter most to you on your iPad or a big screen. By default, Panic give you a bunch of beautiful widgets and visualisations. But we couldn’t bear the thought of seeing all these Status Boards going out into the world without any GoSquared data in them whatsoever.

That’s why we’re proud to announce GoSquared integration with Panic Status Board starting today.

Social media marketing is set to get a lot more interesting during 2013. For startups this means getting ahead of the curve, because when you are competing against millions of other companies of a similar size in an attempt to capture the attention of hundreds of thousands of early adopters, you need to raise your game.

On February 3rd 7 years ago, we started GoSquared without the knowledge of how to write a line of code.

A lot’s changed since then, so we thought we’d put our 7 years of history in a very un-real-time timeline for you to enjoy.

Thanks for being our customers, fans, and friends.

James, Geoff, JT and the rest of the GoSquared team.

We’re rather proud to release our latest Labs project – Globe.

On Friday 25th of January, we put on a metrics focused event with our friends at Geckoboard called Data Driven London.

Getting data driven at your startup

I (James) gave a talk about how startups can get more data driven, and we focused around a few of the metrics we track here at GoSquared, and others that fit into the Pirate Metrics way of thinking.

Here’s a couple of the slides that give you a taster of what we spoke about at Data Driven London. Give us a shout if you want to learn more.

Today we’re very pleased to introduce an entirely new GoSquared Blog design.

We thought it’d be nice to celebrate by looking back at all of the older designs that have served us so well since our humble beginnings in 2006.

Back in 2007

Data Driven London is a meetup for entrepreneurs and professionals interested in real-time metrics, lean analytics and data driven decision making.

We’re very proud to be putting the event on with our friends Geckoboard (who have also just released some very handy improvements to their GoSquared analytics integration).

You can add an RSS feed to your GoSquared Timeline to make it easier to spot significant events and how they’ve impacted your site’s traffic.

Read on for a couple of examples of how this feature can help you every day.

A couple of weeks ago, JT and I popped over to America’s playground, Las Vegas for a week to attend the Amazon Web Services Re:Invent conference. Here’s what we got up to.

Why Vegas?

Amazon’s first ever Web Services conference had over 6,000 attendees. It was on a scale unlike anything we’d seen before, so they needed a city that could match it. Everything was taking place at the Sands Expo Center which sits right under the Venetian and Palazzo Casino and Hotel complex.
