River Runner

I ran across a cool web app / data visualization called River Runner. Click on the map to drop a raindrop anywhere in the world and watch where it ends up. Not only does it list and map every waterway the raindrop would take to get to the ocean, it follows the route via an interactive flyover style animation.

FIX: Google Site Kit WordPress Property Tracked Twice

Site Kit currently cannot detect a Google Analytics tag in Tag Manager, so you’ll need to choose whether you want to use Site Kit’s snippet or Tag Manager to insert the tracking code.

If you choose Tag Manager, you can remove Site Kit’s snippet under Site Kit > Settings > Analytics > Edit and manually configure the Account, Property, and View you want to display in Site Kit’s dashboards.
