If you’re a blogger and have not checked out Woopra.com, stop everything that you’re doing and get on the beta list. This is the coolest analytic tool I have seen for blogging, period.
Let’s start at the beginning. First off, Woopra is live. Yes, totally live. You can see who is on your site right now and what they are doing. Not only can you see what is happening in real time, you can stop what you are doing and chat with the user that is currently online.
Woopra’s difference is it’s ability to report in real time. Is that important? In a word, yes. A scrolling screen has always been the holy grail of console management. It puts the pro’s and con’s in your face while you are watching. It is way too easy to sleep through a log file and miss an important event. When it’s happening as you watch, you’re almost guaranteed to notice. What else do we like about Woopra? Let’s take a look.
Real time analysis allows you to see what is happening on your site at any time. Who’s there reading what and at what time. That’s pretty hoss.
You can initiate chat with anyone on your site at any time while they are online. Careful, don’t scare away the traffic.
You can see where your traffic is coming from in the world. Ok, so you can’t speak Pashtun. Apparently, they can speak English.
Woopra lets you know when you have something interesting on your site. It’s nice to hear the bell telling you that you have another visitor.
Let’s see…woopra or google. Tough choice…right. Woopra kicks the @#$ out of google analytics, in almost every way. I guess that means that google will be buying it soon, or maybe the boys at Redmond will beat them to it. Either way, I’m ready for the IPO.
Until next time, happy blogging.
