I worked at Userplane, building social applications for sites like MySpace. We also just recently launched a standard API, which allows any social networking site to use our analytics code. In October of 2007, at some of the first big Facebook events, we saw hundreds of developers working out of their dorm rooms.

First, let me recommend reading a previous blog, called omg I’m just a startup, I can’t do those fancy metrics. For example, there might be a series of flows in how users come into the site, starting with ads, SEO, or otherwise. Aggregate metrics. Most sites don’t have to deal with this so I’ll stop here!

How did they end up with such an irreverent site and what was their objective? Company grew by more than “400% each year” for past few years [assume growth metric = revenues]. Private, flash sales site focused on apparel goods (women, men and children). Metrics: 2.5mm members, 1,000 brands, 2,500 sale events to-date.

In a world where it’s easier to judge the immediate value of a business, I know that metrics like “time on site&# matter. Get people to your website and never let them leave. That’s what AOL was. A “walled garden.&#. That’s why Facebook is totally rocking it right now. And they will continue to do so.
