  1. @adrian_johnson @Umpf Many congrats and well deserved. Time to get horribly drunk and make fools of yourselves
  2. @jimmoran yes with copious amounts of violence and a bit of fantasy thrown in for good measure.
  3. #gameofthrones best episode by a mile.
  4. Special #FF to @lucysheridan for her special @oprah appearance this week
  5. @jbairstow21 Congrats on the England contract. Well deserved.
  6. @Type_HayleyJ Engine House, Pickled Pepper and Out of the Woods
  7. @adrian_johnson my cynical side says changes in stock price might be the cause.
  8. @katrina_suzanne @dancroxenjohn @georgeioannou Seems a really good summary to me. Particularly impressive when having had Vodka!
  9. @katrina_suzanne I think there may be something missing from "There’s a tradeoff between privacy"
  10. @danbarker @millerian @timlb it seems it was devised for non-pageview events/actions but I'm sure it could track individual page speeds also
  11. @danbarker @millerian @timlb However I think you could use _trackingTiming to measure a certain page: developers.google.com/analytics/devg…
  12. @danbarker @millerian @timlb Was thinking the same - however I think its done on a % of visitors to site not by page developers.google.com/analytics/devg…
  13. @danbarker @millerian @timlb I'd certainly recommend it to larger clients if I felt we weren't getting enough data
  14. @danbarker @millerian @timlb With larger sites the standard rate usually provides enough data to indicate whether there is a speed problem.
  15. @danbarker @millerian @timlb I've not seen any evidence for it affecting the performance of a site. That would be quite ironic if it did!
  16. @danbarker I'm recommending to all smaller ecommerce clients to increase their site speed sample rate.
