I can't really explain how cool Urchin was. I think it was one of the first truly analytical software I used — not just from a web traffic point of view, but it was a site that used and presented data. The graphs, the maps, even the two-column UI was stuff a lot of web developers copied and riffed on back then. It really opened my mind up to a lot of things: design, software as a service (and installable software), even acquisitions in general. Strangely had a large impact on my future career.
