The most important information I found on your site was the comparison chart between your service, MochiMedia and HeyZap! - is there any way you can put more focus on that, or mention the comparisons on the homepage? Otherwise, looks good and I wish you the best of luck. It seems like it will be hard getting traction against the giants but even a small slice of the pie could/should be worthwhile.

I'll see if I can work that table into somewhere more obvious. I've got incredible traction! I expect April will see me becoming the leading analytics platform by whatever number you want to judge by. While I was in San Francisco I had the opportunity to meet with most of the largest portals and everyone's very excited with what I'm doing... some of the biggest portals are using or testing SWFStats right now and others I met with should start their testing in April. I've also got a great selection of the biggest/most popular developers as well! All up I've been just insanely fortunate on that front. To really put it into perspective ... when I posted here 5 or 6 weeks ago asking how to launch a beta I'd done about 200 million events over several months of private beta testing.... this week I will pass 2 billion. During peak hours now I'm receiving close to 900 events per second!

    I want to have a really cool answer for this like Cassandra and nosql and clusters and nodes and server side javascript and all that cool stuff, but the truth is not that exciting. I have two servers, events go to log files and log files get processed and put into the db. Servers are win2003 and win2008, db is Sql Server Express (lol), and webservers are IIS6 and IIS7. Long term I want to get nginx or mochiweb in place for the tracker servers but for now it's beyond my skills and time/money budget to do that.
