The system will allow users, for instance, to find local restaurants when they travel to a new town.

The Geode project is an experimental add-on ahead of a full blown launch of geolocation technology in version 3.1 of Firefox.

Users will have control over how much location information they give.

It uses technology from a firm called Skyhook which works out a computer’s location from nearby wireless networks.

Its so-called Loki system can determine location within seconds with an accuracy of about 10 to 20 metres.

After some time, I received an email from my client that they can’t see data in Google Analytics. I had the full access for my client email and I logged on Google Analytics and I was unable to see profile in dropdown menu. It was strange and I start looking into this.

To further investigate this I added my Gmail address (myemail@gmail.com) in Google Analytics profile and everything was working fine. I need to fix this problem and after spending an hour on different options, finally I got the solution.

When I login Google Analytics as myclientname@googlemail.com, Google Analytics consider that as myclientname@gmail.com. So, I give access to myclientname@gmail.com and I was able to see data in Google Analytics.
