Lots of panic/excitement about yesterday's GA3 sunsetting announcement. Stepping back a bit, I don’t think it’s bad news; here are some quick thoughts why.

@AnalyticsNinja That's great! And I love the typo at character 344!

@analyticsnerd Worked fine for me yesterday.

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

Excellent advice from @johnnywandering and great courses from @analyticsmania !

Get on this

@jenboland I'm not going to be the one who says "deep subject", because I have self-control.
Regardless, I hope that's a good thing?? Have you been without water all this time? :-)

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@larsmaat Hey @Larsmaat - great question. I don't think it'll filter out bot traffic unless that would be coming in through Measurement Protocol (which is much harder in GA4 than UA, without the secret key).

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@thyng I hope you said yes!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@techseowomen @danaditomaso That would be an awesome talk to listen to!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@julianajaxx Oh yuck!! Hope you feel better soon!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@thyng Sounds like a great approach!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@tgwilson Oh man - that is pretty damn cool!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@ryanlevander @Kia Awesome, Ryan! Welcome to the EV club. I think there's no going back!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@ryanlevander Just went through that process. Looked at Audi, Tesla, and Lexus, and ended up with the latter. It’s a wonderful car but really low on the range side (about 200 miles). But given my circumstances, it works great for me.
I really liked the “EV Pulse” YT channel.

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@jenboland The two very worst surprises in looking at GA4 accounts is finding they have not changed the two-month retention setting or added any custom dimensions. Just a frickin' killer, with no recourse to fall back on. Very painful set-up mistakes!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@mgershoff @Conductrics @supervveek I’ll take it!! Special swag - yay!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@RickDronkers @SimoAhava @fedorovicius Shows up with a new container. Plus UA as well! I guess that means they're bringing it back! :-)

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@jenboland Love it!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

@SimoAhava @AhavaMari Congrats on 10 years!!

[Fred Pike(@[email protected]) @fred_pike]

There are so many great courses out there for learning GA4 (including mine at CXL), but I know this course from @danaditomaso is going to be a great one. She’s super smart and has a gift for explaining things, and this goes beyond GA4. Very cool stuff!

[Dana DiTomaso danaditomaso.bsky.social @danaditomaso]
