I was seriously considering the addition of a post about Nexus One yesterday, but the media has been saturated with the news of Google’s innovation. Nexus One uses the Android platform to run applications and provide you, the smartphone user, with a pleasant experience while using your phone. Late yesterday, I received my first hits from the Android platform on one of my blogs as seen below. The Android platform is now available on two smartphones, Nexus One and Verizon Motorola Droid phone.

A note about the image above: If you are at all interested in hosting your own web analytics, Piwik is the way to do it. Piwik is an open-source server-side analytics software. It is capable of tracking more than one site at a time (I currently use it for analytics with 6 sites) and is refreshingly easy to use.
