Now this is a feature that I’m looking forward to playing around with…
Industry Benchmarking, a beta feature now available in Google Analytics lets you compare your metrics against industry verticals. Of course for the moment its quite biased as it can only compare with other sites of similar vertical that have subscribed to sharing their data on the Analytics side. But as subscribers grow, so of course will data also… The data your receive is completely anonymous, so although you won’t be able to use it like Competitious or for ORM necessarily, at least you are able to get, well, a benchmark of the industry. Watch this space as we test away

If you can tick yes to at least 8 of these you might be a candidate too:
- Strongly or somewhat agree with the statement “My cell phone goes everywhere I go?”
- Use your wireless device “frequently” at home instead of your home phone?
- Strongly or somewhat agree with the statement “When I leave home without my cell phone, I feel cut off”?
- Spend four hours or more using the Internet—work or personal—per day on average?
- Used IM (instant messenger) in the last week?
- Have a Facebook profile that you visit at least once a day?
- Strongly agree with the statement “The world is not as safe as it used to be”?
- Used a laptop in your living room or bedroom in the last week?
- Text-messaged on a regular cell or sent email using a BlackBerry, Treo or similar in the evenings or the weekend in the last week?
…but that also makes at least 95% of everyone that I know candidates too
