What’s wrong with the Web Analytics Association?

13 08 2008

It seems things are not going very well for Web Analytics Association online events lately.
After the big crash of their webcast equipment few minutes before the General Meeting, it was the voting process which was all messed up by technical issues and wrong links. First the link to the voting page was wrong, then the Ballot ID was invalid and we needed to wait for a third email before being able to vote.

If I was persevering enough to vote for the board of Direction, I wasn’t lucky enough to be available for the new date of the General Meeting…

2 weeks ago, we had a nice email from the Chairman apologizing for all the confusion around the voting process and assuring processes and review will be done to identify what went wrong…
I know how things can quickly go wrong with technical stuff but, Ladies and Gentlemen, please, I really hope you will take appropriate actions to avoid such issues in the future

Thank you for all what you do and the valuable work. WAA website is still one of my favorite resource on Web Analytics ;)

    Yes, J-Marc, the WAA has had a pie in the face several times. We can use all the help we can get so if you or any of your readers has a spare moment or two to volunteer and help us improve - the WAA would be grateful, the community would be better served and I would be so happy I’d offer to wash your car and baby-sit your pets. I really hope we avoid such issues in the future too!!

    Jim,
    The purpose of my post was not to offend anybody at the WAA.
    I think that people working there are doing a good job and I consider the association and all their activities as really useful and valuable.
    I am convinced it is important to have such organism to promote and foster the interests of the industry of Web Analytics, and on a local level, I am already serving the community by organizing events around Web Analytics and never miss an opportunity to promote the WAA.

    Thank you Jim to read my blog and even more to leave a comment. Feel free to come back and share your comments with us anytime.
