Normally I wouldn’t mention a press release citing a company landing a customer, but yesterday WebSideStory announced it signed up Knight-Ridder.

I know the Knight-Ridder Digital sites well – they were a long time Accrue customer, first through the “renegade” San Jose Mercury News, then all the K-R properties, and then on to Classified Ventures. These days, it seems like AccrueDatanautics has taken its eye off the web analytics ball. The only customer-related press release they’ve had since inception of the company is a nearly year-old announcement that a customer renewed their support agreement. It’s no wonder that other vendors are stepping in.

Anyway — kudos to WebSideStory.
