The folks over at Adaptive Path have invited me into their private alpha testing of Measure Map. The setup was extremely easy. They have prepared specific walkthroughs for several different blogging platforms complete with screenshots that are clear and concise. I had my WordPress blog setup in less than five minutes.

It seems that Measure Map is currently focused on providing stats which are important to bloggers, but their proposed feature list will certainly include more and more robust (read: enterprise) type statistics. RSS feed management is coming soon and as it is an alpha, there are sure to be tons more features.

I only spent about 15 minutes with the app, so these are just initial impressions, but like most everything from Adaptive Path, it looks great. It seems to be fast right now; scaling will be something to keep our eyes on. I have not personally used Mint, but I can certainly say that setup is much easier with Measure Map mostly because it’s a hosted app and not something running on your own server.

I hope to post more insight both here and to the Measure Map folks after Thanksgiving. Heading to the folks for a few days and won’t be online, but I like what I see so far.
