This is episode number 16 of Hypercritical.

complained about, and torn apart by my co-host,

John Syracusea.

I'm Dan Benjamin.

We'd like to say a quick thanks to web trends that they just came out with Analytics 10 and also to

MailChimp who has something very cool called Altarigo app which will tell about both of those as we go on with the show.

John Sir Cusa, how are you doing this fine Friday afternoon?

I'm just Andy.

We're doing great.

We're doing super.
