Here I am slogging away doing manual loads, requirements gathering, Billing Data Base hodgepodging and general office duties. I am not doing the Steel Town Watusi until they bring me a REAL pro hockey team. Until til then I'm doing the Toronto Two Step. The data does seem to only go back to Sept 22. I can't see where they have stored any other stuff. yeah I am not to certain why we get the short end of the stick. WE'RE CANADIANS after all, the least obnoxious people in the entire world. Sheesh.. I would have been singing the praises of the Google Geeks for weeks and weeks. I'd have shouted from the mountain tops " AND ONE GOOGLE TO RULE THEM ALL".. I would have been estatic. And yet I'm an hour late and a buck short. Sorry Google. *blows kazoo* Thanks for the Reporting Dashboard. Hip Hip Hooray. Wow – I’m always the last one to the party aren’t I.

EarlPearl will be there as well. I agree that you all have gotten the very short end of the stick. @EarlPearl Your Time Distortion Machine has a funny way of revisiting history. If we were the same age in the video, it is likely that we are the same age now, you <a href="http://www.sbjf.org/sbjco/schmaltz/yiddish_phrases.htm" rel="nofollow">alter cocker</a>, you. @Wayne Once we are done getting Google to fix the merges, the spam, the oneboxes, the geocoding, the lost towns, we can move onto getting the stats both beefed up and improved quality wise :) @Dev-

Steve, us Canadians rarely ever get a bone from the big G, so when you've got something to celebrate about and the inner geek rejoices, why not tweet it out eh? :-) Okay it seems like some of y’all have been making fun of my happy dance and I’ll just have to show you how good it is at a conference after party perhaps.

The Aussie data only goes back to 22 July - and seems to be missing the Driving Directions stats as well.

Its fine if you are keeping a close eye on your analytics but Joe or Jean small business could be steered a little wrong here. earlpearl is right though – upon closer analysis some of the data is so far off as to be downright bs.
