Over past few months, we’ve been working hard on a secret project in the Adaptive Path Labs. Now, we’re pleased to announce the output of that effort: Measure Map.
Measure Map is a Web application that helps people get to know their blogs. We do this by collecting and analyzing blog-specific traffic statistics, and presenting them in a browsable interface that encourages exploration. It’s an experience that offers meaningful insight into the effects caused by small changes in how you blog, in contrast to the overwhelming complexity of most Web stats tools, with their query/report-style analytic methods. Measure Map provides clarity by refocusing the difficult problem of Web statistics, and solving it just for blogs.
We’ll be opening the doors soon — probably toward the end of the year. For now, we’re metering our growth with an invitation system to ensure that we can provide an appropriate level of service for our users as we grow.
Adaptive Path newsletter subscribers will receive priority invitations, to follow soon.
Everyone else in the world can sign up for your invitation at www.measuremap.com
Save the date for January and February 2006 Workshops
We’re hitting the road in early 2006 for workshops in Los Angeles, Miami, and Seattle. And we’re wrapping up our road trip in February at home in San Francisco, with a workshop in our newly renovated, expanded office space.
In January, Jesse James Garrett will be crisscrossing the country to teach “Ajax” in Los Angeles and his popular “Elements of User Experience” in Miami.
Come February we’ll teach “Ajax” in Miami, “Beyond Usability: Designing the Complete User Experience” in Seattle, and our new “Web 2.0” at our San Francisco headquarters.
If you and your team aren’t able to make it, we also offer these workshops as on-site training. Sending an entire team to an off-site workshop can be cost-prohibitive (even if you deserve the winter break in Miami or Los Angeles), so we make it easier by coming directly to you.
You get our time, attention, and focus on the challenges and opportunities that you face at your organization, as well as valuable training for your whole team.
Send us an email at < contact@adaptivepath.com > if you’d like to be notified when workshop dates are confirmed, or if you’re interested in on-site training options.

Adaptive Path Executive Briefs are quick overviews that sift out extraneous information and provide you with the most pressing details on a particular topic.
Our new Ajax Executive Brief outlines the business impact of Ajax and shows how it has already begun to alter the marketplace. It’s free to newsletter subscribers, so download your copy now.
If the report piques your interest, join Jesse in Chicago on December 8, where he’ll be co-presenting Adaptive Path’s first workshop on “Ajax” with Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith of Ajaxian.com. For more information, click here.
