GOOG Gives Good Gifts

Google Analytics. It used to be Urchin and it was expensive and very cool. As of Monday it's still one of the best analytics tools that a webmaster could have, but now it's free. Yeah. Free.

Google Base. In case you weren't aware, Google Base allows you to submit your "information" directly to Google to be stored in their database (which means it could be listed in the main index or Froogle or wherever). By the way, "information" means pretty much anything from a recipe to a classified ad. If the category you want isn't there already, you can make your own.

Fun stuff.
