[Shimoni, Kenya]
WELL, I’M back in Shimoni here on the Kenyan coast by Wasini Island for a day or 2 and I need to set up a FREE web stats for a friend. Decisions, decisions. I think I’ll still continue to go with StatCounter (SC). Any of you guys use Google Analytics (GA)? I’ve always heard good things about SC so I don’t think I’m gonna change.

I fondly remember my dear pal Anne Holmes (aka The Vigilante Journalist and photographer) who used to get her web stats via GA until we met up — as a result of being roomies in Lavington. Back then, I introduced her to StatCounter because she didn’t like GA one bit. Heck, she even subscribed to the paid version of SC.

BTW, this Franco-American gal travels the world like no other person I’ve met in a while. One moment, she’s living in Bangkok; the next moment, she’s hanging out in Chad, Turkey or some other “hot spot” doing the journalist thingy. And then she’s back at her Bangkok pad once again…with occasional trips back to France — probably to see her love: goood French wine. Aah yes, she’s a true Frenchie.

Anyhow, peek these links:
