Re: How to change the AirDrop destination folder on Mac

Worked for me on the latest version of Catalina: 10.15.4. Hooray!

Re: macOS Catalina 10.15.3 offers tweaks for Apple Pro Display XDR, 16-inch MacBook Pro

Sure would be neat if they could get the TouchBar on MacBook Pros to stop freezing.
Or for Apple-branded USB-C to HDMI dongles to work more reliably.
Or for the Caps Lock button to stop causing the entire keyboard to be useless.

I dunno, maybe those aren't priorities?

Adobe or Abode?

Re: Is Google Advanced Analysis Close to Adobe Analysis Workspace?

Thanks for this comparison! Looking forward to even more on the way. Is it worth doing a comparison of Calculated Metrics?

Heads up that Adobe Analytics also integrates with Adobe Audience Manager, Adobe Campaign, Adobe Ad Cloud, Paid Search Engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo), Adobe Experience Manager, and a broad ecosystem of pre-built Data Connectors.

Re: Working Smarter: your keyboard could be the key

EM Dude — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 13:37:42 -0000

Funny - I use that exact same Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard at work too. I don't understand why Apple doesn't have a split keyboard, unless they're investing in carpal tunnel surgeries... Only trouble with using the Microsoft keyboard is that some of the icons are incorrect. I bought this from eBay to resolve that issue:

Along with Karabiner to map the keys properly. Enjoy!

I'm having the same xperience as Gordon below. Do not buy these if you plan on upgrading to 10.3 - which you should. It's now an unsupported accessory. Womp Womp

Couldn't agree more. Plus a large percentage of my co-workers with the new MBP have been dealing with screen issues - flashing black screens or one co-worker whose screen partly peeled off!

Re: How to turn Live Photos into shareable GIFs | Cult of Mac

Good call - it works in Photos on El Capitan as well. Not sure there's a need to purchase an app that converts them to GIFs

You can view Live Photos on an iPhone 6 (haven't tested on 5S or less). When a 6S texts a Live Photo, just open it then tap and hold. This works either in Messages or Photos on iOS9

Re: Launch and Integrate Optimizely with Adobe DTM

EM Dude — Wed, 20 May 2015 14:01:47 -0000

Hi Alyson - you do *not* need to deploy Optimizely through DTM for this integration to work. You can choose to deploy Adobe Analytics through DTM and Optimizely through page code, and this integration will still work!

Yeah, agreed Cleve. I'm even considering changing it to a shorter function name - satlog() or something

Re: Comparing Data: Adobe Analytics vs. Google Analytics

EM Dude — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 15:38:56 -0000

That's a great question - why adobe analytics, not GA? Or maybe - why pay for analytics when GA is free?? (this way Google Analytics Premium is also in the conversation)

And I've got lots of thoughts on that. Tons actually. Glad to hear others are thinking about it. I'll think through a Top 5 reasons to pay for an Analytics Platform ...

Re: Study

EM Dude — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 19:03:26 -0000

I'm missing the part in the article above where Big Data is described as the end-all be-all solution to marketing. It's simply stating that if this is supposedly the era of big data, then why aren't marketers dabbling in more data-driven decisions? Nowhere does it even recommend that clients even use "Big Data"; instead, give behavioral targeting a try. We've had plenty of great successes with it that haven't resulted in clients drinking Kool Aid - I'm familiar with the analogy as well.

Drinking the Kool Aid would be assuming that simply implementing a technology will improve your bottom line. It takes rigorous analysis and strategic use of technology to get anything out of it, which Razorfish has implemented for plenty of clear-eyed, and now even more successful, clients.

EM Dude — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:46:35 -0000

Doug - Maybe "Big Data" is scary and pricey and seems hard to gain an ROI, but if only "38 percent believed they are capable of targeting prospects versus returning customers" then isn't there a huge upside to simply adjusting content based on really basic customer data? For example: If you know a visitor is already a customer, advertise a product they don't own or aim to upsell. If you know the visitor hasn't previously purchased, then take that data into your analysis or target your tests to advertise cheaper or more maintainable products.

There's no worse marketing message that I receive than a CRM email I get weekly that often has clothing recommendations for women, even though the brand knows my name, previous purchases, and I have a credit card with them.

In essence, it doesn't take "Big Data" and DMP's and DSP's and 100's of millions of dollars worth of technology to take advantage of behavioral data. The issue above simply requires a free integration between the eCRM tool and their site analytics tool.

Great article, Rudi - thanks!

Regarding "free to not only Adobe customers but soon to others" - is this saying that the full version of DTM will be available?

Re: SiteCatalyst Dashboards – When you need to know, and you need to know now

EM Dude — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 13:56:40 -0000

One thing to be aware of is that when usernames are deleted, dashboards associated with that account are too (unless transferred prior to deletion). So if you're using a shared dashboard, you may want to consider copying it to your account first.

Re: Are JavaScript-Based Trackers Still Relevant?

EM Dude — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:15:32 -0000

Seems like the answer, in short, to your post's question is "no". The main reason JavaScript is enabled on close to 100% of visitors (one of my main clients had .02% JS disabled) is that the web is pretty useless without JavaScript enabled. Try disabling it in your browser and see how far you get. I sure wouldn't be able to write this comment without it!

I'd love your thoughts on how to think towards the future and avoid using JS in case JS is no longer the language that runs the web. API's, PHP, and other technologies may be an answer?

And yes - Adobe needs to fix that report ... arg! At least add a row that says "Mobile" in it so it doesn't look disabled!

Great article, thanks for sharing. The one thing that's missing is deciding what domain to put your First Party Cookie (FPC) on. If you have two domains each with their own report suite, and a global report suite capturing data from both, how do you decide where to put the FPC? If you ask me, there should be an option to have both a 1st and 3rd party cookie set so that when the 3rd party cookie is accepted, the visitorID will be shared across both domains and data is properly tied together in the global report suite.

Is there something special about the visualization above? I'm on the latest version of Chrome and it seems to be just a .png image file of a graph with Professional Basketball highlighted

Funny, I noticed that today too. But I was using IE9 and it worked perfectly.

Re: De-Duped Success Metrics

EM Dude — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:00:00 -0000

This is great info Adam, thanks for sharing. The big advantage to the segmentation option is that there is no need to update tagging nor is there a need to worry about using two events to track the same action. I'm a big fan of visit-based (or in rare cases visitor-based) segmentation to answer exactly the types of questions you posed at the beginning of this article.

Thanks!
