ngc4lib: Browsing percentages / analytics

There’s an interesting thread on the ngc4lib mailing list, started by Tim (“Mr. LibraryThing”) Spalding’s Browsing percentages / analytics. The archive gets confused because some mailers break threading, but Dave Pattern follows up and says that by his measurements, in his library’s catalogue, 0.2% of people click on xISBN/thingISBN-generated related edition links. Jonathan Rochkind asks why Pattern dropped xISBN and went with thingISBN but, as I write this, Pattern is probably asleep and hasn’t replied yet. Jim Weinheimer mentioned the four user tasks.
