Measure Map Acquired by Google
If you haven’t already heard, Adaptive Path is proud to announce that we’ve sold Measure Map! The analytics service designed for bloggers was recently acquired by Google.
This acquisition is the culmination of Adaptive Path’s first initiative to develop products in house. We set out to provide bloggers with a powerful, simple way to understand participation on their blogs. Our users and the media have praised Measure Map as an innovative approach to analytics. The acquisition by Google reaffirms our belief in the product and the people involved.
Jeffrey Veen, an Adaptive Path founder and Product Director for Measure Map, will make the journey to Google along with several other members of the development team. Jeff will retain ties with Adaptive Path as a good friend and colleague.
We wish Jeff the best, and couldn’t be happier for him and the others who will be headed to Google. For more information about Measure Map and Google’s acquisition, you can read Jeff’s blog post on the Google blog.

Indi Young’s New Path
Adaptive Path founding partner Indi Young is moving on. After five memorable years with the company she worked so tirelessly to build, Indi is shifting her focus toward writing. (Yes, the mental model book!). Indi is a gifted colleague and exceptional consultant, so of course we’re sad to see her go, but our collaboration will continue.
Indi is an applications and navigation guru who began her work on the Web more than ten years ago. She is the creator of our acclaimed mental model and gap analysis processes.
As part of our strong community of peers, Indi’s relationship with Adaptive Path isn’t ending, just changing. She’ll continue to work seamlessly with Adaptive Path as a consultant, trainer, and creative colleague. This transition gives her the freedom to focus on her Mental Model Research, and we’re pleased to see Indi pursuing her passion for this important method for user-centered design.
On behalf of Adaptive Path and all of our friends and colleagues here and abroad, we offer our warmest wishes for Indi’s continued success.
