Is there an easy way to record pageviews in Umbraco? I want to show the number of times a blog post has been viewed.
What about using Google Analytics for that task?
Otherwise, I am building a small CRM for Umbraco that registers the unique users that accesses to your pages.
Hope I helped you.
Regards,
Eduardo

I'm looking for a way to fetch the usernames of the most recently created accounts on Twitter, or alternatively search for accounts, filtered by join date.
There doesn't seem to be a built-in way of doing this in the Twitter API. Can anyone suggest an alternative method, or a way of using the API in a way that would achieve this?
I'm aiming to carry out similar research to this study, but I've only managed to estimate the average length of active accounts (by sampling live tweets via the Streaming API), as opposed to new accounts.
Many thanks, in advance!
There is no API which provides this data.
Furthermore, Twitter now uses non-sequential 64 bit IDs - so you can't just create a new user and increment their ID number.
I would like to integrate in my web site a flights search engine. I am wondering how can i do this. Who sells this kind of service? or there is an elegant and easy way to this?
ps: of course i need the possibility to books the flights.
FlightStats has an API that may serve your purposes, depending on your use case.
(If you want to do bookings and such it won't help you there, but it will show you flights for the next several days, as well as data for flights in the air).
If you need information for bookings, you're pretty much stuck going to Sabre.
Sorry for the bad title and description, but I was wondering if there is anyway I could search/list products from other sites (say Express, American Eagle), from a web app I create, even if the site doesn't have an API.
Thanks
Sure. How do you think Google and every other search engine does it? They just spider the sites and index the contents. The devil, of course, is in the details. But it's certainly possible to do.
I don't think so. Unless you want only to fetch some data from a certain HTML page, then you need to use some regular expressions. But searching the database is not possible if you don't have the ability to connect to it directly or via some APIs.
Can I do the following with SharePoint 2007:
1) Create lists (records) and document libraries with content that is in force for a certain amount of days and after that, they automatically expire? How?
2) When searching for words in a SharePoint site where there are lists and documents, SharePoint displays results similar to Google, would it be possible that Sharepoint tell me what documents are no longer current? How?
Thank you very much.

I am trying to find a way to track and produce reports for my site (out of interest). Does anyone know of any articles/projects etc that you can
Track pages / unique visitors etc
Tracking 1) relative to timestamp etc
in asp.net mvc or just asp.net ?
P.S - I know google analytics etc is available but looking to create some basic stats for myself out of interest about how web analytics work ?
There are a couple of good ways to try and determine unique visitors, none of them are exact (which is why different analytics will report different numbers).
The first is to use a cookie. Create a cookie for the user for each time frame that you want to track uniques, so you could create one that expires in a day and one that expires in a month. You can then use both of those to track how many unique daily/monthly visitors you have. Of course this is not perfect since people can clear or refuse cookies, but it is pretty accurate.
The other way is to track uniques using a combination of the IP address and User Agent of the requesting user, this is probably slightly less accurate since if a company has a good IT group lots of internal users will have the same User Agent and since they are all coming from the same internal network could have the same IP address.
If you are interested in reading more about the different methods there is a great article about it here: http://www.google.com/support/urchin45/bin/answer.py?answer=28325
I blogged about simple asp.net module.

I would recommend using google analytics instead of reinventing the wheel. All you have to do is stick a bit of javascript in your master page and your done.
Yo can check Piwik out. Its an open source web analytics written using PHP and mysql.
you can find great article in http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/PageTracking.aspx
