I swear Google is stealing my ideas. I had a frustrating experience with the industry standard webstats package, Urchin, last night, and complained to a couple people about it.
This morning, I awake to a new Google product, Google Analytics, which is the result of Google purchasing Urchin a while back. On the Analytics home page is a bulleted list detailing Google’s solution to every one of my gripes with Urchin. Fishy, eh? :)
However, a stats package can’t really be evaluated until it has data in it. Here’s how it looks right now:
Pretty impressive! I especially like the “Executive Overview” idea, as well as the Geo Map! Check back soon, I’ll post an updated screenshot with some real numbers.

where are we safe from big broogle?
BIG BROOGLE? That’s soooooooo funny! I actually laughed out loud…but yeah I’m lame like that.
I’ve been trying to tell you, google is the Wal Mart, the Microsoft of the net. Be and Do everything for everybody. Beware.

picketting in mountain view.. “THE END OF THE WORLD IS NEAR!! BEWARE OF GOOOOOG!”
but seriously, you’ve got to wonder where big broogle will stop. acquire apple and all the record companies for an itunes monopoly. acquire the library of congress. larry page for president. sergey on the UN. free wifi in space. WHERE WILL IT STOP?!
I’d vote for ‘em… Let it continue! Corporate advertising paying for useful free stuff for me… I’m all for it, until they come and take my kids away because my DNA blueprint on my google bio-keyboard shows them to be perfect candidates for the google intergalactic super army! I’m talking ender’s game shit here!
Wha Wha what just happened…
