Web analytics, web metrics, and how to use them to track and improve conversions

I have to admit, I admire Tony Hung of Deep Jive Interests for being a Blogger and Doctor at the same time.... I don't even have to know anymore about him than that - it's kinda unusual, although probably not unique..it's just the first time I've heard of a crossover like that. 

In Why Doctors Write Like “Chicken-Scratch”  Tony Hung explains why I can't read any prescription I ever had ....and coming from a blogger - I can take it easier from him than my own doctors.

"...Rather, that at some point in their career, they’ve had to write faster and faster because of how busy you are (that was one thing about being in a hospital that I just didn’t appreciate at the time). And in writing faster, and quicker, you tend to develop shortcuts in how you write, and of course, the writing tends to get a little bit more illegible over time.  What makes it worse (to lay people) is that on the only bit of communication that patients see, the prescription, we tend to use abbreviations as well — but not just English abbreviations, *Latin* ones, which make it doubly hard to understand.  If you’ve ever read “PO” on a prescription, it stands for “Per Os”, which is meant to be “by mouth”.

Anyway, I thought it was ironic that this kind of phenomenon would pop up, and be documented by, one of the biggest personalities in *Technology* (Mark Cuban).  I wonder if anyone else has noticed this kind of phenomenon by other people in other industries?"

I've been reading Deep Jive for about a year, it's always in my RSS Feed Reader and I have based a few of my posts on information he's presented. 

And now in Meet the (New Media) Editor -- Tony Hung, The Blog Herald I find out that Tony Hung is also editor at The Blog Herald, the same place Valeria Maltoni writes for, along with her own blog Conversation Agent.

While I haven't personally met Tony, or had any contact with him, I have met Valeria Maltoni a couple of times in New York, and I enjoy talking with her.
