Website stats are an obsession for some people. How many visitors? What age are they? How long do they spend on the site? The list goes on. Here is my idea to take this statistical obsession one step further. A doorbell with built in home visitor statistics display. (C) Dominic Wilcox

Love it. This explains the fallacies of Website stats better than any explanation I have used in the past 10 years. Thank you!

Comment by mrdominic (admin) June 15, 2009 @ 2:11 pmThis is probably going to be commonplace in the future, with our computer-outfitted houses and cyborg implants which identify us and communicate with all surrounding electronics. (see “Kevin Warwick”)
well, what of privacy?
Comment by ppk June 15, 2009 @ 2:41 pmif this is a real thing, i bet lots of ppl would buy it.
Comment by robb June 15, 2009 @ 5:48 pmkinda fun just to look at it.
I’m sure the guards at gated communities already have this technology. I wonder what one could do with that information in a public sphere though. Tailor their apartment to get the most “hits” possible?
Comment by visionsofsomething June 15, 2009 @ 9:51 pmYes there will be blogs about how to improve your home stats through home decor improvements. And even how to hack the doorbell to bump up the numbers.

Pingback by No Smarties » Visitor stats June 16, 2009 @ 12:49 amThis kinda doorbell would work once we all have RDIF implants like animals, but in security these stats are available where everyone entering a building has to use a swipe card.

. Inspired by visitor statistics on websites, this doorbell can have extended usage in terms of security. It is definitely an idea way ahead of its time and may find a more decorative-to-have usage now. Via: Variationsonnormal [...]

Comment by Paw hellegaard June 24, 2009 @ 11:52 amGo into my mind, take the second left and its a shop on the corner.
Comment by mrdominic (admin) June 24, 2009 @ 1:19 pmI would want to add referrer details (“who told you where I live?”) and bounce rate (“hi, can I come in?” “no”) and also set up a conversion funnel to measure drop-off between front door and bedroom.
Er, the last bit is a slightly creepy idea, but there’s no other room in the house that it makes sense for; who would measure door-to-kitchen conversion? So, for the sake of the joke, I am willing to look slightly creepy.

Comment by Sapnininkas June 27, 2009 @ 11:40 am[...] This is the Internet geek doorbell. I am wondering how to you get all your visitors to tell their weight to a doorbell? Does this doorbell come with a special doormat that also guesses age? More on variations on normal. [...]

Comment by c-ma June 30, 2009 @ 2:20 pmWTF are the Referrers?
Comment by pantoffelpunk July 1, 2009 @ 11:11 amDoes it upload to a website? I’d have an embarrassingly small number of “followers.”
Comment by Dan Murray July 18, 2009 @ 11:28 amThat facility is on the pro model.
Comment by mrdominic (admin) July 20, 2009 @ 3:09 pmgreat ideas. I always follow your ideas and apply them.
Just one question though. Have you made writing this blog as your profession or do you do this in your spare time?
Just curious..
