What a flattering compliment for Spiral16!

We often stress that people may not find value in any data collection toolset unless they know how to use the results, or have defined what metrics relate best to their goals. Software is the vehicle that gets you from point A (chaos) to point B (organized metrics) – what people do from that point forward is what makes any data set valuable. Measurement is just the beginning.

Data funds the budget, but emotion ultimatley drives action.

I would add that I believe it takes a combination of right side of the brain thinking combined with the more analytical left side to help create a balanced strategy for dealing with effective creative strategies, both online and off line. Data is directional and it should ideally inform the creative, not direct it.

We're bootstrapped and sponsorship and consulting based, instead of ad
based.

Basically, we eat our own dogfood – the things we pitch as analysis and
advice in our posts we also do for ourselves and people who hire us for more
in-depth advice.
