Stories about: WebSideStory

Novell has thrown its weight behind a fledgling effort to develop a Windows version of the Evolution groupware client, a move that the Waltham, Massachusetts, software company hopes will give Windows desktop users an open-source alternative to Microsoft Outlook.

Online marketers need to do a better job of tracking campaigns they launch on the Internet, so WebSideStory is starting an educational program to teach that skill.

The Mozilla Foundation has unveiled the most complete preview version yet of its stand-alone e-mail application. The release comes only weeks after the launch of its Firefox browser version 1.0, and is part of the open source software project's continuing efforts to chip away market share from Microsoft's dominate Internet Explorer (IE).

America Online (AOL) on Tuesday released a preview version of a new Netscape Web browser that is based on the open-source Firefox Web browser, but also supports Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) browser engine.

Although Microsoft still dominates the Web browser space, its Internet Explorer continues to lose market share to open-source rival Mozilla.

Popular Microsoft products may be vulnerable to a security vulnerability that is similar to one patched for the Mozilla Web browsers last week.

A series of highly publicized security vulnerabilities found in Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser may be having an effect on the browser's market share, according to data compiled by WebSideStory, a Web metrics company. Over the last month, Internet Explorer's share of the browser market dropped by 1 percent, the first noticeable decline since WebSideStory began tracking the browser market in late 1999.

A bug hunter claims to have uncovered a security flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) 5 Web browser by studying Windows source code that was leaked last week.

The ASP is one of those dotcom era fads that turned out to be more enduring than its description suggests.

The death knell is sounding for the Netscape browser, industry observers said, following America Online Inc.'s decision Tuesday to lay off about 50 Netscape software developers and end development work on the Mozilla browser technology.

During the dotcom heyday, companies slapped sites on the Web and waited for traffic to pour in. They counted "eyeballs" and measured their site's "stickiness" as a way to convey the online real estate's value to advertisers. When the Internet bubble burst, "sticky eyeballs" seemed suddenly worthless. Now, as the Web has moved from being a technology pipe to a sales channel, companies need to update their Web measurement strategy with new metrics and analysis tools that can help them analyze customer behavior and improve their site's business success.
