It seems like Performancing has not only got it’s steam back up after the boiler went cold awhile back but old familiars like the revamped PFF blog editor has recently returned under the new name of Scribefire and now it seems that the new crew at Performancing has everybody’s favorite metrics system back on line as well after it’s demise around the beginning of this year.
Performancing Metrics was most likely the all time favorite metric system available for bloggers who wanted a statistics service that was tailor-made for blogs and it offered the most features out of all of them at no charge to the user. It came as a bit of a shock to all when it was announced that Performancing Metrics would be taken down due to the fact that it had grown too big to handle for the resources at hand and was sadly missed indeed among those who had depended on this fine statistics engine. Ironically enough, I had just gone over to a self hosted WordPress install and was ready to sign up myself when the everything hit the fan and Metrics disappeared.
But no longer apparently. I have been a Performancing member for about a year now and although I haven’t written much content to date, I do check in faithfully every few days to see how things are going along and this morning when I banged into the site (much to my surprise) there was a new tab in the header of the main page called pmetrics and believe me, I didn’t waste any time checking it out.
And So…
As of 11:00 am my time (east coast USA), the new Performancing Metrics has been percolating on my blog compiling all that wonderful data that will show me exactly how many readers I don’t have. That’s okay though since the blog the service is hooked to is my personal blog that rides on no specific road but rather wanders about as it pleases. Still, having the metrics system I thought was gone forever back where it belongs gives me a good feeling that the Performancing group is back on top of things and working hard at getting the job done once again.
Like the new ScribeFire editor, Performancing Metrics apparently was sneaked out with no fanfare or announcement on the site or at least none that I could find anyway. I could be wrong here about the lack of fanfare and I’m sure they’ll let me know if I am. Meanwhile, I’m going to thoroughly enjoy being a member and using their metrics system to my advantage (grin). And I won’t hesitate to pony up the highly unreasonable (grin again) amount of $14.95 for the yearly subscription to the Premium service for the couple extra features (and more to come) even though my site hardly warrants it.
Heck, it costs $$$ to keep this kind of metrics system going which is the main reason it died in the first place. I’m going to make damn sure it sticks around this time by doing what I can to help.
Good deal all around for all I think, yes?
