On May 3 2011, Vinoaj Vijeyakumar, a Googler from Google Singapore headquarters dropped by Kuala Lumpur and hosted a meetup with the community from Kuala Lumpur GTUG. He shared with us tips and tricks on how to fully utilize Google Analytics for web and mobile applications.

Here are some notes on his presentation:

• Use Goals to analyse your users engagement with your website, web app and mobile application.
• Use Event Tracking to track your users' behavior and improve on your website, web app and mobile application user experience.
• Google Analytics for Mobile is important for Android application developers.

You can follow along his presentation slide below.

I hope for the next Office Hours meetup, Vinoaj would tell us some dirty secrets on how to use Website Optimizer tools. Thanks for coming by Vinny!

I understand that some of you will be travelling via public transportation, and since the nature of this event will be at midnight, I personally encourage those who have transportation (driving a car) would offer a ride to those that don't have their own mode of transportation. Pay it forward.

See you at I/O!

We have a venue! #ioxKL

Choosing a location is not easy. You have to consider a lot of things, but 1 major important criteria is the internet speed. After deliberating a few locations in Kuala Lumpur, I've finally come to terms by choosing iTrain as the venue of choice for this inaugural "live" event. They have speedy internets!
