<p>In short, our updated software &#8211; <strong>release 0.4</strong> - allows for more variables in the chart builder, trendwatches (e.g., 2010 with 2011) and more clearly illuminates where to improve what.</p>
<p><a title="Safe bet - start using the benchmarking tool for professionals." href="http://my.commetrics.com/" target="_blank">My.ComMetrics.com</a> is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application, which means you do not need to install anything on your end. We host and operate the application over the Internet for your use. This allows you to access our software virtually as and when you need it to <strong>track your blog’s performance</strong>.</p>
<p>This is the tool that prominent bloggers have made the talk of the town.</p>

				</div>
<p><img style="margin: 10px;float: left" src="http://www.cytrap.eu/files/HowToComMetrics/2009/image/05/2009-05-08-DilbertMetrics-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="175" height="200" />May has been a really busy month for us. As the cartoon to the left illustrates, we talked with Dogbert and convinced him to help us come up with some nice additional features for your dashboard.</p>
<p>Our work with the folks at the Financial Times has also yielded satisfying results. You can get more information on our collaboration in the following posts:</p>
<p>- <a title="Who are the winners and why - what are they doing better... learn from the champions" href="http://ComMetrics.com/articles/ftcbi-downloadrankings/" target="_blank">FT ComMetrics Blog Index published</a><br />
- <a title="Download white paper, detailed analysis, Financial Times report etc." href="http://howto.commetrics.com/articles/ftcbi-download-case-studies/" target="_blank">FT ComMetrics Blog Index released: KISS the blog-bride</a><br />
- <a title="it was a hard search - and if your company had several blogs, the highest performing was the one that made the list" href="http://howto.commetrics.com/articles/ft-commetrics-find-your-blog/" target="_blank">FT ComMetrics Blog Index: How we found you</a><br />
- <a title="best practice - what the high performers do differently than others" href="http://ComMetrics.com/articles/best-in-class/" target="_blank">FT ComMetrics Blog Index: The winners are</a><br />
- <a title="what some corporate bloggers seem to be doing wrong" href="http://ComMetrics.com/articles/ftcbi-just-do-it-right/" target="_blank">FT ComMetrics Blog Index: Just do it &#8211; right</a></p>
<p>Incidentally, to be notified about new features, tricks and tools first, why not enter your e-mail here and get on our VIP list:</p>
<form method="post" action=""><input type="hidden" name="ip" value="38.107.179.228" /><p><label for="s2email">Your email:</label><br /><input type="text" name="email" id="s2email" value="Enter email address..." size="20" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter email address...') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Enter email address...';}" /></p><p><input type="submit" name="subscribe" value="Subscribe" />&nbsp;<input type="submit" name="unsubscribe" value="Unsubscribe" /></p></form>

<p>Here is what is coming your way: <a title="register and claim your blog for free - so we can track it for you and show you how it compares to others" href="http://My.ComMetrics.com" target="_blank">My.ComMetrics.com</a> real-time trace updates or, who is Googling you &#8211; creepy or useful?<span id="more-131"></span></p>
<p>Alerts can be a good thing. For instance <a title="one of our team's profile - Urs E. Gattiker, Ph.D." href="http://www.ziggs.com/apps/profile/Bio.aspx?uid=2371" target="_blank">Ziggs.com</a> alerts you when someone looks up your CV online.</p>
<p><img style="margin: 10px;float: right" src="http://www.cytrap.eu/files/HowToComMetrics/2009/image/05/2009-05-27-MyComMetrics-Real-Time-Trace-Alert.png" border="0" alt="" width="275" /></p>
<p>Real-time trace updates from My.ComMetrics.com are similar to Google Alerts or those from Ziggs. As the subscriber, you get informed when someone decides to add your blog to their dashboard. Hence, your blog&#8217;s performance is now being compared with that attained by another blog that covers a subject area similar to yours.</p>
<p>Additionally, the real-time trace alert provides the recipient with such information as:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://my.commetrics.com/blogdetails.php?id=550" target="_blank">View</a> the vital statistics for <a href="http://daniel.shortens.net/" target="_blank">http://daniel.shortens.net/</a> &#8211; by logging on you can see some of this &#8216;other&#8217; blog&#8217;s performance indicators (i.e. how well this corporate blog is performing)</li>
<li><a href="http://my.commetrics.com/addtraceblog.php?id=550" target="_blank">Trace</a> <a href="http://daniel.shortens.net/" target="_blank">http://daniel.shortens.net/</a> &#8211; logging on automatically adds this blog to those we trace on your behalf so you can find out who is doing better.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please let us know your reactions and comments about this; what do you think? Are there other features you would like? Thanks for sharing.</p>
