Microsoft Anti-Spyware has hit the beta 2 milestone, but now it’s called Windows Defender. MS Anti-Spyware won’t notify you of the upgrade as part of its automatic update process, but it’s an important one to make. If you’re an MSAS user, download and install the new version.
Search giant Google has purchased blog statistics upstart Measure Map, and gotten Jeff Veen as part of the bargain (Veen was Product Director for Measure Map when the site still belonged to Adaptive Path). The deal was announced on Valentine’s Day (awwww) on both The Official Google Blog and on Veen’s weblog.
One has to wonder what this means for Google’s existing web traffic analysis tool, Google Analytics. The official line from Veen’s post on the Google weblog seems to indicate that not much will change. This makes sense, given that Measure Map is so thoroughly focused on weblogs. Certainly, any integration that does occur will be optional and will take some time to achieve smoothly.
