About Me
Hiya. I’m Bob Page, currently with Yahoo!’s central data team. We Do Data. I joined Yahoo! in October 2004. Two of the reasons I was attracted to Yahoo! were the amount of interesting data they have, and an executive commitment to use the data. Once I landed, I also appreciated how careful they were with data (from a security/privacy standpoint).
Before Yahoo! I was co-founder, CTO and VP Product Development at Accrue Software, a vendor of enterprise-class web analytics solutions. So yeah, I’ve been doing the web analytics thing since 1996.
Before Accrue I worked at Sun Microsystems on a number of network-related applications, including network management, network security, and network access.
About This Site
Previously, bobpage.net was a vehicle for topics around Yahoo! and web analytics. It went into hibernation in the fall of 2005 when life became too crazy. In April 2007 the blog came back with a broader mix of professional and personal stuff.
The blog is powered by the WordPress software, and a lightly modified version of the Cutline theme. The site is hosted at TextDrive. I’m pretty happy with TextDrive and no, I don’t get a commission if you join.
All original content on this site is covered by a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License. Please give me credit/blame if you use anything here. Note that I do not claim copyright over any of the comments posted by others; contact the poster directly.
About Site Statistics
TextDrive makes the server log files readily available, but I can’t be bothered. I did sign up for Google Analytics, so if that bugs you, install FireFox, install the Adblock extension, and make sure *.google-analytics.com/* is in your block pattern.
