I am starting to take an interest in data driving some apps that I'm working on, but am wondering what techniques and tools might be applicable to a relatively small userbase (a few thousand accounts). I am a believer in metrics-driven design, but I'm curious to hear what folks experiences have been in applying these techniques to small data samples.<p>If you have some recommendations for blogs or articles to read, or links to projects to check out, that'd be great.<p>I promise to give back by writing articles about my progress after trying out some of your recommendations.<p>EDIT: To give a bit of background, currently I have two main areas of interest: 1) Testing out and iterating on a new design for a site that has been historically a bit rough around the edges, 2) Starting the data-driven process as soon as possible on a couple new projects that are just beginning to pick up steam.
