| TagSlides.com is an offshoot of http://web2.0slides.com which was an instant hit and showed up several "lists" of top web 2.0 apps and has been catching on with the social bookmarking communities. Our strategy page is at http://workontheweb.com/gameplan We are forming a virtual team and have several web designers and developers involved. We have registered over 80 "slides" themed sites. The basic concept is that you can filter a google search, a technorati search, a del.icio.us tag search etc and show the results as a "slide show". It is "hands free browsing" once the slide show starts you don't have to click. We're using an interstitial advertising model. Actively seeking team members.

Website Analytics

Drwhitworth:

Some free or inexpensive website analytics that were referred to me by fellow bootstrappers were the following:

*Google Analytics
*AWstats
*Webalizer
*Hitslink
*Indextools
*W3counter

They are in the order of most often recommended to least but I can not vouch for which one is best...you just have to try them out yourself and see if they work for what you are looking for.

I will try to update this as I try some of these out myself.
