YouTube's Staggering Growth Continues
The latest data from comScore says YouTube served 12 billion video views during November, up 137% year over year. Unique visitors to the site are strong as well, up 32%.
Even more impressive, YouTube is clobbering the competition. The next nine most popular sites combined only served up a quarter of the total views in November that YouTube served. Their growth is slower too, year over year, they’ve grown 86%.

metric_fu: A Ruby Gem for Easy Metric Report Generation
Metric_fu is a set of rake tasks that make it easy to generate metrics reports. It uses Saikuro, Flog, Flay, Rcov, Reek, Roodi, Subversion, Git, and Rails built-in stats task to create a series of reports. It’s designed to integrate easily with CruiseControl.rb by placing files in the Custom Build Artifacts folder.
New in metric_fu 1.1.0 is integration of the ‘Awesome’ template and graphs — which graph your metric performance over time! Big thanks go to Nick Quaranto and Edouard Brière for their work on this feature. If you’re used to the non-awesome reports then this will be quite a treat. Graphing requires the gems ‘gruff’ and ‘rmagick’ (and rmagick requires ImageMagick). If that’s too much installation to bear, then see configuration section below for how to turn off graphing of the metrics.

Below is the email client market share as of February 2009. These numbers are not exclusive – some people used more than one email client during the month, and so that will register a vote for each client used.

Comparison of data analysis packages: R, Matlab, SciPy, Excel, SAS, SPSS, Stata – Brendan O’Connor’s Blog
Lukas and I were trying to write a succinct comparison of the most popular packages that are typically used for data analysis. I think most people choose one based on what people around them use or what they learn in school, so I’ve found it hard to find comparative information. I’m posting the table here in hopes of useful comments.
