Chartbeat's company blog covers web analytics, publisher traffic data, and engineering practices at the real-time analytics firm.
HN links its data on AMP traffic effects and scroll behavior; an employee also describes the company's regular hackathons.
Chartbeat (New York) is hiring for everything from Support to Data Science to Sales.
We're a real-time analytics service designed for real-time action used by everyone from The Wall Street Journal to Al Jazeera. We're democratizing data by putting it in the hands of people who need it to make decisions and take action - right now. Just before our 4th birthday we moved into our own sprawling office in Union Square, Manhattan. We are packing it full of incredible talent. Thanks to years of hard work and amazing funding by some of the top investors in the world (Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Index Ventures, and Betaworks) we're growing, and growing quickly.

Their business relies on the whims of fickle consumers not changing, which seems to happen frequently.
Facebook hasn't been cool for a decade+ and usage has dropped a lot in the last few years[1], so all of their eggs are going into baskets that either a) face similar competitive battles (insta v tik tok et al) or b) are gambles (metaverse), other ventures.
Social media, and perhaps the internet at large, seems like it's shaping up to be a lot more ephemeral in nature than we were led to believe when the unicorns were growing up. Not sure how these companies navigate that other than via conglomerate/acquisition style growth.

What AMP does is allow product ppl to use Google's authority to cut out all the script crap that Sales lobbies for, even if they have to lie a bit.
I.e., "If we don't do AMP, we'll make Google mad and sink in organic rankings" is a much stronger argument than "We ought to remove all these modals and trackers and stuff because no sane user wants this crap thrown at them."
I like our implementation of hackathons at Chartbeat, which is a week-long hackathon every 6 weeks. Some of our most loved products and features have come out of them.
I wrote a little blog post about it once, if anyone cares: http://blog.chartbeat.com/2012/03/16/hacking-chartbeat/
