Hi all,
Just looking to build a list of the top New Zealand facebook pages by fan count. It’s somewhat of a manual task, so feel free to leave a comment with ones you think should be on the list.
I’ll start with these ones:
These fan number are as at 30/10/2010.
Do you know of any others with decent fan numbers?

Today I recieved this in my inbox:
SITE PROBLEMS:
Our site has been incurring ongoing unexplained problems. We are at this time, unable to stop this continued onslaught. We do not have the expertise to counter what has been happening.
Over the past week the site has been down several times. Bugs have been appeared to stop functions.
Saturday night they attacked admin to stop anyone logging in. It would take our passwords and allow admin to appear but once clicked on a function took us out to re login.
Our members could login but could not enter mywebuy to relist or execute any of their functions. If they clicked mywebuy a 2nd time they are taken back to login.
Then to top this off the site was out for the third time in 3 weeks. We were down for 18 hours.
SOLUTION:
We are working on the problems and seem to have things under control, and sincerely hope to overcome next lot as they appear. However our funder has put us on notice that “enough is enough”. He has given Kiwis a previously unheard of and generous opportunity “a chance to own something worthwhile and to create wealth with no outlay”. The results have been disappointing for three and a half years. The funder when setting the site up for members to own said 2 years was the limit “use it or lose it”. He funded for a considerably longer period.
Hopefully we will get on top of things but if we don’t do so in the next few days it will be goodbye from the Webuy team.
Wish us well as you own the site and if any site deserves support it really is Webuy.
All that this says to me is that the site is down and out. They don’t have what it takes to fix the issues and this email shows that there’s little chance that these issues will be fixed. If anyone trusted Webuy.co.nz I would seriously think again. Whats your thoughts?
Lately Google has brought the Google Caffeine update from the sandbox into the main search results.
While in the sandbox, the caffeine update rarely effected rankings. It was more about the speed of which the results would get returned and the number of pages that it would return.
Recently Google has made a change that allows you to see movie session times within Google. Just search for the movie name plus your town/city.
The information on Google is very basic, there’s no movie description, trailers or reviews. I’ll be sticking with Flicks for now. Check out their movie trailers, movie reviews and competitions.
Tonight the unthinkable for a lot of online New Zealanders happened. Trademe went down
In reply to this, twitter kicked into life:
Will this rock the reliance on such a giant?
Somehow I don’t think so. Picture if Google had an outage for a few hours. Would people stop using it? Probably not.
However in recent weeks sella.co.nz has increased their presence by partnering up as an online auction component for the Big Night In telethon. What’s the chances of sella picking up some of these disgruntled trademe users?
What’s your thoughts?
A little while ago I signed up to recieve emails from 3deals.co.nz - a 1-day.co.nz competitor.
Anyway like the early days of 1-day, 3deals has fallen short. Either the servers not responding and dishing up a 404 error page or the page is not there so returning a 404.
Things you should do:
BTW: Awesome thanks, now that the site loaded, i’ve missed out on getting an iPod for $1. Hopefully the site holds up better tomorrow.
Looking into Event Tracking through Google Analytics opens the doors for some very unique and very cool new features. However, Event Tracking is still in beta and only available through only a select few accounts. Making testing & implementation recommendations difficult. However there is a way around this by simply manually adjusting the url when viewing reports.
Tracking Code Implementation
Firstly, implement the event tracking code on events within you site. When deciding on what actions to track, the skys the limit. From tracking lightbox triggers, external links and actions within a flash file. Event tracking can be made to fit a number of required tracking metrics.
Now To view the reporting here’s what you need to do:
now you can view all the tracked events…
