… this just in… there are rumors flying around that Adaptive Path is going to spin out its blog measurement service Measure Maps. … hot tip… going to Google? Confirmed… it is with Google. Jeff Veen has posted on the Google blog about the deal.

I had known that something was in the works for a while but only now can say this. Five folks from Adaptive Path are now joining the Borg. Hopefully, Google’s resources will improve the performance of MM because till recently it has sucked wind and shows all sorts of weird data. Discounted that because of alpha status, but now I would expect them to improve. tracking my readers.

Update: Sucks Wind= Slow. Not bad service so as to not cause confusion. Also, just noticed Google is damn selective in its link back policy. My trackback did not show up. What’s up with that!

I found it hard to really grok all the info that they surfaced and I simply stopped using it except for the occasional check in after Jeremy or Dave linked to me. They promised that they would make this data meaningful to bloggers, but from where I stand, I can’t see it. Om said it “sucks wind” – its really not bad, its just kinda “ok”. [...]
