Too bad the API is still "coming soon", but it is good news that they're working on it. I'd love to have access to that data without having to log in, and to build apps around it.


I want to see details on the API. I'm really hoping they let you provision new profiles with it.


Found this: http://analytics.blogspot.com/2008/10/more-enterprise-class-... Unfortunately, it's a read-only data API.


I smell rushed push out of features to ward off defections to Yahoo's competing service. They even promise their API is 'coming soon', a feature that set yahoo's offering apart. Gee I love competition. Let's hope yahoo stays independent a while longer to cause a few more of these chain reactions.


Finally...TC reports something useful.


Heh, I was actually thinking the same thing when I read it. Objective and informative. I had to make sure I was still on TC.


AFAICT, it is just paraphrased from the announcement on the Google Analytics blog.



Can't wait to play with those, but of course they're not activated yet in my account. The Adsense integration is huge and will probably lead me to dynamically include ads depending on the provenance of users (Like, if it shows that Diggers never click an ad, why bother?).

Now if it could provide a real time list of the latest 100 or so visitors... it would be perfect.


The bubble graph is way cool !

Besides it's a really good way of looking at data over time.


Gah. I hate the new design.

new features are great though.
