the chart looks to be a hang-over from google.com/finance; I like the interactivity of it... I'm sure they will replace it with a html5/canvas solution as soon as they feel the adoption is worth it (for those alternatives)

That first link just gave us some analytics about the people here on HN. Offtopic: It reported Chrome on Ubuntu as Browsers: Ubuntu

  Yeah, I thought the browser stats for HN people was interesting as well. We love Chrome and apparently one person likes news.ycombinator.org.

Strange... : I clicked in the above url. Then I copied the resulting url (http://www.magicbeef.com/ http://www.magicbeef.com/) After pasting it in google service, it produced a different short url: http://goo.gl/YH1c http://goo.gl/YH1c I first assumed that every destination would render an unique short url, but thats not the case. This way google knows the full stats of http://www.magicbeef.com/ http://www.magicbeef.com/. But you can only know the real stats if you know ALL the short urls pointing to it. :) EDIT: I my short url stats page theres a notice: "119 total clicks on all goo.gl short URLs pointing to this long URL" EDIT: Notice the browser stats of the link (http://goo.gl/info/Jvhu http://goo.gl/info/Jvhu) Almost NO IE. Also less than a half windows.

  I wonder if Google has an API to get all stats or an API to get all short links pointing to a URL. PS: That means there is still atleast one HNer using internet explorer.

  Probably because of the analytics -- if you create a short URL and post it somewhere, you want to know how many people (etc.) clicked your link, not how many people clicked any link that goes to the same place through the shortener.
