Crazy ideas

** Philosophies **

• Reduce the number of queries to Google
• Maximize the data we collect in each query
• Query as fast as possible

** Crazy ideas **

• So if GA allows us to have up to 10 qps, 4 simultaneous connections per IP .. why not use them all? (How do I make concurrent queries in Ruby?)
• Somehow keep a count of queries. Raise warnings if it gets too close to the daily limit.
• When collecting goal metrics have a method that will get 10 metrics at a time then return the entire collection at once to minimize query but so the programmer doesn't have to stitch all the results back together for persistance purposes.
• Add a "manual" query method - in other words, make your own query string. If the programmer wants to do something crazy (or be lazy).
• Default to return 10,000 records at once. It takes Google only a little longer and Google recommends it anyway.. so why not?
• Return stuff in ActiveRecord - make it easier for me to save stuff.
• Write testing stuff
• Steal Garb's report class idea but make it a predefined query string so I'm not locked into making classes for everything.
