I Was Expecting A Web Log Analysis Tool!

In about 1997, the Australian company Active Concepts named its webserver logfile analysis tool "Funnel Web". If you were looking for that tool, visit the Active Concepts web site. From what I have heard, their FunnelWeb is an excellent webserver logfile analysis tool.

Note: The FunnelWeb of the site you are reading was named in 1986, long before the world wide web even existed.
