That also struck me as highly doubtful. Many people here work on big web apps; the idea that something as critical as analytics could be broken for two months is ludicrous. My manager would be having some sort of embolism if it was down for two days. After 2 weeks, I'd probably be fired. After another two weeks he'd probably be fired!
Analytics are the bread and butter of large web sites. If they go down, you basically stop doing business. It's inconceivable. Denton has the motivation to lie, so it's pretty clear that's what this claim is.
- cookiecaper 15y ago"Broken" may mean something other than "totally, completely broken". Maybe there's some odd bugs that cause an occasional misreporting, and they're trying to hammer these out. Maybe you can only log in sometimes. I don't know, but I think that broken could mean something besides "we can't look at any data at all".
