Track the Browser Size with Google Analytics

Google Analytics reports the "screen resolution" of the visitor's computer but skips the other important metric which is the size of the browser window. These two numbers will be approximately similar if the browser window is kept in maximized state but not otherwise. →Take a look at the example below. The screen resolution of the desktop is 1920×1080 (this is the number recorded by Google Analytics) but the actual browser window size (where your website is displayed) is a little over 900×600 pixels.Google Analytics displays the Screen Resolution and not the actual Browser Size of the visitor.The screen resolution is a less-useful metric and what you really need to know is the actual size (or range) of the browser window of your visitors. This data can be easily gathered through Google Analytics – simply copy-paste the following code snippet just before the closing </body> tag of your website template:<script type="text/javascript">

var width  = window.innerWidth  || document.body.clientWidth;

var height = window.innerHeight || document.body.clientHeight;



width  = Math.round(width/100)*100;

height = Math.round(height/100)*100;



var size = width + "x" + height;

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Browser Size', 'Range', size]);

</script>It calculates the actual height and width of the browser window and then rounds off these numbers to the nearest 100. For instance, a browser size of 985×1190 pixels is recorded as 1000×1200 pixels. You can then access this data in Google Analytics through Content -> Events -> Overview and then choose "Browse Size" as the Events Category.Once you know the popular "ranges," you can update the site layout and placement accordingly so that visitors can see all the important elements on your pages Above the Fold without having to use the scroll bar.Also see: Getting Started with Responsive Web Design This story, Track the Browser Size with Google Analytics, was originally published at Digital Inspiration on 26/11/2012 under Google Analytics, Web Design, Internet.

Digital Inspiration Technology Blog: Geotag your Tweets with any Random Location

Geotag your Tweets with any Random Location

http://www.labnol.org/internet/attach-location-to-tweets/26811/

Nov 21st 2012, 12:16



On Twitter, if you do not wish to reveal your geographic location in your tweets, you can either completely disable the location feature from Twitter settings or you can can attach some random (read, fake) location to your tweet. →For instance, here's a recent tweet that specific my location as the White House in Washington DC though it was written from a place that is at least 8000 miles away.Fake your geographic location on TwitterAttach any Location to your TweetsNow most Twitter mobile clients won't let you attach random locations to your tweets but there's a web-based app called PleaseDontStalkMe.com that may come handy here. Here you can pick any location on a Google Map – either drag the marker or use the search box to reach an exact address – and tweet.Since the Twitter website no longer displays the app name that was used to send that tweet, your followers on Twitter are less likely to know that you faked your location in the tweet. Do remember to limit the length of your tweet to 140 characters else the tweet would fail but without offering an explanation.You can geotag your tweets from the Twitter.com website as well (click the Location icon near the tweet button) but in that case, you can only attach a city-level location to the tweet and not an exact location.Also see: How to Fake Twitter Conversations This story, Geotag your Tweets with any Random Location, was originally published at Digital Inspiration on 21/11/2012 under Location, Privacy, Twitter, Internet.

Digital Inspiration Technology Blog: Play any YouTube Playlist with VLC Media Player

Digital Inspiration Technology Blog



Digital Inspiration is an award-winning how-to tech blog around all things related to computer software, web applications, mobile and personal productivity.



Play any YouTube Playlist with VLC Media Player

http://www.labnol.org/software/youtube-videos-in-vlc-player/26829/

Nov 21st 2012, 19:54



Do you know that VLC Media Player, the world's favorite video player that supports nearly every video format, can also play YouTube videos on your desktop without requiring the web browser or the Adobe Flash player. →To get started, open the VLC player, press Ctrl+N to open the Network URL dialog and paste any YouTube video URL in the input box.The Benefits of Watching YouTube Videos with VLCThe streaming videos will play inside VLC Media Player just like any other local video file while offering some additional benefits not available inside the standard YouTube player. For instance:You can choose Video -> Always on Top inside VLC and the YouTube video window will stick to the foreground while you work on other tasks.Press the Loop button in the player controls and the YouTube video will play non-stop in a loop (also possible with Chrome add-ons).You can change the Playback speed of the YouTube video and make it run slower or faster than the normal speed.Use the Tools -> Take Snapshot option to capture a screenshot image of any frame or scene in the YouTube video.Watch the YouTube videos without the ads. I played a couple of movies and music videos inside VLC and none of them carried any pre-roll ads.Play YouTube Playlists inside VLCVLC, by default, only supports single YouTube URLs but it also possible to import an entire YouTube Playlist into VLC and watch all the videos in sequence.You can watch an entire playlist of YouTube videos inside VLC Media Player. Here's the trick. Right-click and save this file to your desktop. Now open the VLC installation folder (%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC) and move the .lua file into the exiting /lua/playlist folder.Restart the VLC Media Player and choose Media -> Open Network Stream. Now paste the URL of any public YouTube Playlist here and the enjoy the videos.Also see: Watch YouTube Playlists on your iPadIn addition to YouTube, VLC Player can also play DailyMotion videos outside the browser. It is supposed to work with Vimeo videos as well but that is currently broken possibly due to a change in the URL structure at Vimeo's end. Thanks @igrigorik.
