Blogger Analytics vs Google Analytics

With Blogger they provide analytics for your blog.  However, the Blogger analytics are not as detailed as Google Analytics.  I use both to track analytics for this blog.  However, even though Blogger and "Google Analytics" are owned and operated by Google, they do not match up.

For the November 20, Blogger analytics shows that I had 22 pages views.  Google Analytics says I had 7 page views.

I find it strange that two analytics programs owned and operated by the same company do not match up.

Future of TV

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine who works at a local TV station and I were talking about what we thought the future of TV was, because of all the different services like Hulu and Netflix coming about. I mentioned that I had watched the Amanda Knox court decision handed down streamed live from Italy on my iPhone. I stated I thought live streaming on mobile devices and computers is the way that all TV stations are going to be presenting their content in the future and eventually no one would have a TV. Everyone would just watch the networks and local affiliates on their computer or mobile device.

After that conversation even more evidence has come about to help support my claim. I watched the court decision being handed down in the Conrad Murray case streamed live on my iPhone, and watched the red carpets of "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" and the American Music Awards (AMA) streamed live on my computer.

I will not be suppressed if within the next 20 years there will no longer be TVs and everyone is watching "TV" on their computers or mobile device.

Evanescence album "Evanescence"

Evanescence released a new album called "Evanescence" on October 11, 2011.  I was looking at their website tonight for concert dates and they only have two concerts scheduled, one is tonight (October 20) and the other is tomorrow (October 21).  They, also, have no future concerts scheduled.  I find this really strange, since bands usually go on tour shortly after releasing a new album.

Evanescence "Everybody's Fool"

The video for "Everybody's Fool" is definitely my favorite Evanescence music video and probably my favorite music video of all time.  The song is amazing and has a great message.  The video it self is amazingly shot, Amy Lee does an excellent job acting, and the video represents the meaning of the song really well.

Evanescence "Where Will You Go"

"Where Will You Go", along with "Everybody's Fool" are my two favorite Evanescence songs.  They both have good messages in their lyrics, they have great music, and, at least to me as someone in the media, are relatable.
