The New Old Sitemeter
By Jim Lynch on Sep 15, 2008 in Blogs and blogging, Non-political, Technology
I didn’t even have time to post on the new sitemeter before it went back to being the old sitemeter.
As you’re no doubt aware by now, we’ve chosen to roll back our website to the previous “classic” version.
Based on some performance issues we were experiencing along with feedback from the community it appears we have pushed our new site live prematurely.
Our intention is and has always been to offer you, our customer’s better tools and more accurate data. Obviously we fell short of this. The first thing we need to do, moving forward, is to roll out new product releases in parallel to our current platform. This will give everyone a chance to try out, evaluate, and comment on our new concepts.

We apologize for the botched rollout and will do our best to make sure the next time we do this it has your full support and blessing.
I was among those who didn’t like the new version. That being said, I’m not going to fault them for what they did. I use their free service, and really like the information they provide. Still, I hope they do examine the changes more carefully before they roll them out. I do appreciate that they recognized the problems, took responsibility for them, and were willing and able to reverse their plans.

Agreed. I like SiteMeter, and was anxious to see the new version. I hated it, but at least they listened to the users and backtracked on it.
