Learn the art of Safe Riding – www.ridesafewith.me
Friends, specially bikers like me, this post is about the fun, the thrill and the passion one gets while riding a bike. But in that passion at times we ignore the part that says, it should also be safe. I love to go on long drives and my Suzuki GS150r makes the ride pretty smooth & comfortable for me but there are some things which any rider much know to ride-safe and avoid any sort of mishap.
According to Sunny of xBhP, safe riding is an art , and I totally agree with him. One needs to learn and practice a lot of moves, tactics and norms to become a safe rider. You need to set rules for yourself and most importantly also follow them. 
The first and the most important being ‘Wear a Helmet’ always!!
But now suppose I am a beginner and I want to learn all these tactics and norms. Not just that I want to practice safe riding the right way, what should I do? Earlier there wasn’t anything that could guide you but now thanks to xBhP and CEAT, we have a learning source, www.ridesafewith.me
The website looks good, though I am not a big fan of the dark color scheme. But still the feel should work out with bikers. Anyways, the focus of the website is safe driving and they have explained with the help of some really good illustrations/pictures several biking topics like turning, blind spots, etc.
As Sunny says in his mail
This initiative is about helping you live with and through this freedom. Speed can be lethal in untrained hands. This is an effort by xBhp with support from CEAT, about training those hands and the mind that controls them, to live in a world where dying can come easy. It will show you the way to become one with your motorcycle, to elevate the skill of riding into an art.
So do check out, if you are not a fan of biking pass it on to your friends and family. Because safe riding saves lives! Good Day…Ride Safe.
Google Analytics gets 7 new features
Yup, this one is official and I received a mail from the Google Analytics tool this morning. Google Analytics, which is a online traffic analyzing tool with a lot more to offer and that too free, has been updated with not 1, not 2 but 7 new features.
As a regular user of Google Analytics, I was very happy to get the mail. Analytics helps me a lot in all my client projects to monitor traffic, performance and search engine penetration. The seven features added by Google as according to the mail are:
Analytics Intelligence with Custom Alerts
Using an algorithmic driven Intelligence engine, Analytics Intelligence monitors data patterns over daily, weekly and monthly periods. Significant changes in data trends and insights you may not have noticed are surfaced directly in your account. You can also create your own Custom Alerts that monitor your selection of dimensions and metrics that can be sent by email or displayed in the Intelligence reports.Expanded Goals and New Engagement Goals
You can now track even more conversions by creating up to 20 goals per profile. Measure user engagement and branding success on your site with Time on Site and Pages per Visit goals. Set up your first Engagement goal in minutes.Expanded Mobile Reporting
Google Analytics has expanded support for mobile websites and tracking for iPhone and Android mobile applications tracking. Adding server side code to your PHP, JSP, PERL, or ASPX mobile websites enables you to track non-Java-Script enabled phones. For mobile application developers, access the SDK and technical implementation details here. You’ll also be able to see breakout data on mobile devices and carriers in the new Mobile reports in the Visitors section.Unique Visitors Metric
Include the Unique Visitors metric in your Custom Report or Advanced Segments to see how many actual visitors (unique cookies) visit your website. You can select Unique Visitors as a metric against any dimensions in Google Analytics.Advanced Analysis Features
Dive deeper into your data with Pivoting, Secondary Dimensions, and Advanced Table Filtering. These combined features enable you to perform in-depth, on the fly data analysis within your account.Share Advanced Segments and Custom Report Templates
Share the URL link for an Advanced Segment or Custom Report with anyone who has an Analytics account. Sharing the link will automatically import the pre-formatted template into the person’s account. Also available now is the ability to share or hide your Advanced Segments and Custom Reports by profile.Multiple Custom Variables
Custom variables provide the power and flexibility to customize Google Analytics to collect the unique site usage data most important to your business. Define and track visitors according to visitor attributes (member vs. non-member), session attributes (signed in or signed out), and by page-level attributes (viewed Sports section). Use custom variables to classify any number of interactions and behaviors on your site. Start learning more about them now.
So, doesn’t all of these look great? Will soon give you a report on how helpful and good these features are. Go ahead, and see if these features are accessible to you too. Have fun, you can thank me later to keep you updated.
