I spoke with Eric T. Peterson about a month ago as he was on his way to the eMetrics Summit in Washington, DC.
With the summit now behind us, Eric was kind enough to speak with me again on his impressions of the event. We also talked about Omniture's acquisition of Visual Sciences in the context of consolidation in the web analytics industry, upcoming events, and his plans to write the second edition of Web Analytics Demystified during Oregon's long, gray winter.
