New and External tracking services

[awcabot]

The iraqi official news agency, INA, has a site www.uruklink.net. Other than I do not speak one iota of arabic, they have a small button at the bottom of the page that links to an external tracking service, nedstatbasic.net. Yesterday was a spike in their traffic.

Cute when it is done by personal sites, depressing when it is done by large organizations.

Other than that, Tariq Aziz has fled Iraq.

We dont normaly talk about political goings on here, this thread might be deleted.

I get the suspicion that the INA web stats are
going to flat line pretty soon (that is unless they host outside their own country).

I think awcabot had it right in that the real story is that of a news site using open external tracking. That's wild to watch logs like that! Rare that we get to see those types of statitistics.
