Web Analytics Memorabilia

March 14th, 2008 by Lars Johansson


There was a time when Omniture was called MyComputer.com, IndexTools was black and yellow, HitBOX could be found at World 1000, and WebTrends used a guy in a flannel shirt to convince companies to buy. In the mood for nostalgia? Look no further!

    The funniest thing is that I was the senior webmaster for that “futuristic design” at WebTrends back in 1999. Looks pretty heavy now, but you should have seen what that site replaced!

    :) Where did you find all this stuff? I remember the elf from Omniture. I always remember wondering if she was Finnish or Swedish as she looks quite Nordic.

    Eric,

    There is something quaint about the word “webmaster”. I remember the time when webmasters were rock stars, drove cool cars, and had fat paychecks. ;)

    Steve,

    I love the Wayback Machine. It’s great for getting skeletons out of closets. LOL!

    Everyone,

    Check out the cool Urchin stickers:

    I enjoyed seeing your flashbacks on Omniture (since all the above graphics I created along with the Omniture brand). The short-haired blond woman was affectionately called “Natasha” internally and we got a couple comments from people that thought she looked upset. She lasted quite a while on Omniture’s home page.

    Thanks for the history lesson, Brad. I enjoyed learning more about it. :)
