- PStamatiou 16y agoNot them in particular but I'm currently testing Chartbeat and Reinvigorate (both Woopra competitors it seems) on my blog until I decide which one I like more. To be frank I don't like either. One is only about what is happening now (chartbeat) and doesn't tell you things like how many visitors you got in the last month. Reinvigorate tells you those things but all the data is spread out over tons of pages and you have to click around several times to get what you're looking for. I used to use Mint for all this (but not as realtime... you need to update it to see new numbers) but it needed its own database and I wanted to go with a much more simple setup on my jekyll site. No sql anymore! chartbeat screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/186198/Screenshots/o0-4.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/186198/Screenshots/o0-4.png reinvigorate screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/186198/Screenshots/mrva.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/186198/Screenshots/mrva.png
- theodore 16y agoI've been using Mixpanel, but Woopra looks for powerful out of the box, at least for my needs. I've installed the tracking code and will play with it tomorrow. I haven't tried Chartbeat or Reinvigorate.
- theodore 16y agoOK, I'm on right now, and this kicks ass. This is exactly what I wanted at my last company. When you're dealing with relatively few (but very important) visitors, having this kind of real-time awareness is gold. I can't wait to try it tomorrow when more people are online.

- adamcharnock 16y agoYep, I have used it on a couple of sites now. It is great to be able to see your traffic in real-time if, say, you have just been techcrunched. But day-to-day, I found the Java desktop interface pretty hard to fathom. It looks like they have a new web interface now though, which could be much better
- theodore 16y agoI'm trying out the web interface and I like it so far.
- Artagra 16y agoWe used it on our site Prophecy.co.za for a few months. It's very interesting to watch, and can provide some interesting insight, but for us at the end of the day we decided it's not worth it. However, when we have a fancy office one day I'll put it up on a big LCD in the reception area :)
