Google Analytics Blog Offers Chronology Of 2009 Features
Ok so this may be a bit too ‘techie’ but if you want to see all the wonderful things Google did with its analytics package in 2009 this is a wonderful summary. Remember that you can also test the installation of your Google Analytics code with our code scan tool.
Google Search Queries
On Google’s weekly search blog they showed us some very interesting stats breakdowns.This includes the proportion of users making more than 10 queries per day, number of quality improvements made by Google last year and median user’s location to ice skating rinks on Google Maps. Some information very interesting and some completely useless – but it’s fun!

Bing releases more Streetside maps on its search engine. Still far behind Google but we applaud the effort from the worlds 3rd busiest search engine.

You've summarized it in a welcome way. Thanks buddy. This is an added informative source to the existing array internet marketing round ups. A special pat for spotting Avinash's write up, really a well worth read.
I've noticed the changes made to your blog, one concern is there, that is regarding the too many tool tips.
