in Digg Favorites Slapped By Google on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Honestly, Andy, I wonder how much we have unknowingly contributed to the problem with Google Analytics?
Perhaps in hindsight, Analytics seems to act much more like a Trojan Horse than a "free service for the community".
We let them in, we gave them all the info they needed, and now, they are using it against us.
I start looking for a new analytics solution today. I'll pay for it if I have to. I'm done giving the devil access to my personal diary. ;)

I've always felt this way, and shared with others... but no one ever seemed to care.
I use Awstats... which sucks... but at least I get to keep my underwear on... ;-)

in Terapad Review | Overview and Bugs on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Ironically I found this review link on Digg - it's funny how an older post can be so dang helpful. :)
I really love the concept, implementation and functionality of Terapad - and I agree with nearly all of your reservations about the site as well (especially the SEO limitations).
Also, what I'm really looking for is something as easy as this to set up, but self-hosted. The closest I have found is Joomla, but I frankly don't have the time to learn it. Have you come across anything like this by any chance?

It really is a shame - this is almost 5 months old content now, and they haven't really taken on board most of what I said.
Whenever Jason Calacanis attacks SEOs, the owner of Terapad Stephen Tual is almost always among the supporters and didn't understand as you can see in the comments above why I would find these problems with Terapad a major flaw.
Alternatives - well there are all kinds of ways Wordpress can be set up to provide a sales channel if that is the feature you are looking for.
For Jobs, there are a number of services that allow you to set up a jobs board, and even sell job listings and may of them have affiliate programs of some kind as well.
I think it really comes down to what specific features you are looking for, because there are lots of scripts, and for Wordpress lots of plugins, and those can often be bent to do things that weren't their original intention.
Feel free to drop me an email about it and I can put to on the right path.

Between that and the Google Toolbar, they have access to a ton of information regarding the flow of traffic across the web.
