Real-time analytics with ChartBeat

Just getting to grips with a fantastic real-time analytics engine of ChartBeat which launched last week at web 2.0 expo. I have to agree with the consensus that it is (conceptually at least)- a very cool tool! . I say conceptually because I haven’t actually been able to get the program to work as yet…but the ChartBeat site demonstration, rave tech reviews as well as Andrew Hydes video review all bode well for real time website stats service. Even Hope Leman of AltSearchEngines described the real-time webmetrics as ‘Way Cool’

Peter Hershberg’s demo of the incredible Web site monitoring tool Chartbeat was by far the most interesting part of the keynote morning. If you are ever in need of heavy duty, real time analytics about your Web site check out Chartbeat. It’s an impressive tool. Way cool. I don’t think the average blogger would need it, but certainly mid-sized businesses and up would want to take a look at it. It was so good that the next speaker, Jeff Veen of Small Batch, Inc., was agog and in deep wow mode. – Hope Leman of AltSearchEngines.com

If Bruce Maler can install and view his real-time stats in 5 minutes…then I have to have another go! It is after all just a couple lines of code which are added to the websites, one after the head tag and the other right before the body tag. Hopefully I will be playing with tweets, historical data charts and fancy widgets before long…will let you know!
