Tracking web site visitors is an important part of any web site owner’s business mix. So it was a pleasant surprise to see that the founder of Statcounter, the tracker I use on a number of web sites, has just been named the Young IT Person of the Year at the ICT Excellence Awards!
Aodhan Cullen started Statcounter at the tender age of 16 in 1999 having cut his entrepreneurial teeth at the age of just 12 with a resume-writing service. Statcounter now has 1.3m members, tracks over 2m websites and has over 9bn pageloads a month!
Just goes to show bright ideas are not the preserve of old hands. Entreprenuers come in all shapes and sizes … and ages.
