How does Compete estimate site traffic and Internet rank?

"Compete triangulates multiple data sources, including ISP, Panel &
Toolbar to estimate U.S. traffic. Compete has developed a unique
methodology created by experts in the fields of mathematics,
statistics and the data sciences to aggregate, transform, enhance and
normalize data in order to estimate U.S. Internet traffic. Based on
the daily web usage of more than two million members (and growing!) of
the Compete community, Compete calculates and estimates total traffic
and rank for nearly every site on the web. We use rigorous statistics
to make sure our estimates balance demographic and connection factors
that match the entire U.S. Internet population. Currently, we're
calculating the number of people in the U.S. that visit any given Web
site each month (international usage calculations are in development).
Compete online metrics are leveraged by some of the largest companies
in the U.S. and often cited in publications like USA Today, Wall
Street Journal and The New York Times."

Also, try comparing "hdradio.com" to "pandora.com", "last.fm",
"apple.com", "sprint.com",
"cingular.com", "xbox.com", and "playstation.com".

IBOC Crock -or- should I call you Mister Crock ?

All I know is it did not work for me as a Kitchen Radio
for the Family to use up here in Twain Harte, CA since
we are to far away from any of the current AM or FM
IBOC Broadcasters.

I will have to take it down to Oakland the and give it
a Test to see if it will work as a Kitchen Radio for
the Family to use down there . . . time will tell and
that may take years and years . . .

"IBiquity Digital's Make-or-Break Point Approaches" February 2005

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...2005Feb27.html

The FCC, in the final IBOC Rules, stated that it is up to the
marketplace to determine the fate of HD Radio. Nice of you to turn
your back on us DX'ers, but I will more than make up for it (I
consider this a second-hobby after DX'ing) !

Interest in HD Radio remains flat !

Again, if there were consumer demand for these radios, there would
be a deluge of them. Because there would be money in it. But there
isn't. So there isn't.

HD radio sucks because it is no better or offers no value to the
consumer who has to spend extra money to get it.

Something will have to change.

Yeah. HD will have to offer value over analog to replace it.

They should start with changing the lousy design so it actually provides
better reception and fidelity than analog. Offering different content is
just a diversion.

Snip

I forgot to add that DRM suffers similar problems as HD does where it is
no real improvement over analog. The consortium made similar mistakes of
trying to use the same band space as analog, not using enough bandwidth
to improve both signal reception and fidelity and so what might be a
good reason to buy an HD or DRM receiver? There is none.

Marketing without a brain or more simply "Frackeltonian Thinking".

A 'phased' Band Transfer Plan allocating 100 KHz
Section of a Shortwave Band = 4 DRM Transmissions*
per Hour per Band and Adding 50~ 100 KHz per Year
wouldhave made a better POA - imho ~ RHF

* DRM eats up more Band-Width ~ 25 kHz and should
be phased-in without interference to the Analog Stations.
