I recently gave a seven minute rant at NDF about what statistics we 
aren't collecting. The video requires silverlight, alas:

http://webcast.gigtv.com.au/Mediasite/Catalog/catalogs/NDF/ (second 
page, 'Lightning talks Session 2')

Capsule summary: we claim to value user engagement. Making that claim 
and then failing to attempt to measure it is unprofessional.
