For those having trouble with the EC2 instructions, I thought I'd point out that I think that the Archive Warrior[0] (which is much easier to get up and running on your laptop, etc) running over my tethered cellphone is my most performant c

UDP is kinda the only game in town with in-app analytics (if you don't want to drop ZeroMQ all over the place); Metricfire's PHP (and other) client libraries have been on this for a while now - http://docs.metricfire.com/

Interested to know, since I've never "liked" anything other than friend's status updates, (and I "unliked" all the autoliking they did when they converted a bunch of profile fields into likes a couple of years ago).
