Microsoft Kumo vs Wolfram Alpha – FIGHT!

Microsoft should take a page from the launch of Wolfram’s Alpha using social channels.

Wolfram Alpha – 1.6 million google search results

Microsoft Kumo – 624k google search results

www.WolframAlpha.com is launched, but Microsoft Kumo.com is not even launched. So there is NO benefit from all the news coverage.

Search intensity and volume indicates interest of users — Wolfram Alpha is kicking Microsoft butt.

What is _trackPageview and how can it help me?

Google Analytics’ _trackPageview is a function for use on ga.js tracked sites that allows you to track events on your site that do not generate a pageview. Using the_trackPageview JavaScript, you can assign a specific page filename to Flash events, JavaScript events, file downloads, outbound links, and more.
