You\'re right, this form of analytics will be messy (and so analytics consultants will make even more money). But, I believe there will be solutions found in reusable component-based coding for Analytics Software. For example Google Analytics (along with others), have ways to specially \"tag\" links and assign actions or goals to them: downloads, add to shopping cart, registration, clicks on certain content areas etc. Assuming there will be a space for websites to be more interactive, more \"desktop application\" in function than \"text with links on it\" - analytics will have to adapt away from pageviews. It\'ll still be important, but it cant be the final or only measurement. GrayWolf,

Set-up will be more intense and a case-by-case effort, but in the end we’ll be allowed maximum flexibility in getting the data we need. Um yeah I'm sure a lot of companies will want to build software that works once with very little reuseable code, that should be really easy to scale and make back your money on. I'm sure customers will want to pay through the nose for something that works only as long as they don't change a single thing. >Instead, we are presented with a tabula rasa, where each analytics tool will be custom tailored for each website.

Thanks. I love the phrase "tabula rasa" and I completely agree that it defines the way the new world will have to operate. A great side effect of involving the key folks up front is that there will be more skin in the game and a higher likelihood that people will use the data. I know this sounds silly but one of the reason that people don't use data is that so much of it is out there and they don't understand it and they don't have skin in the game. The approach you describe should fix that. Thanks again, Avinash. Daniel: This is a great post and extends the conversation with some excellent thoughts from you. Thanks.
