Not 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!

Yep, 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

I'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.

OK, 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.

I'm trying out the web interface and I like it so far.

I just added this to my Travel Blog host to kick the tires. It's pretty slick, and does what it says.

I can click a link on my site, and watch the report update in another window. Nice.

Right now I'm watching a guy in China as he creates new accounts and tries to post spam. It's actually pretty fun.

Hitsniffer is another realtime analytics competitor, and I love it. Maybe it's not as snazzy as Chartbeat (and Woopra looks good) but if your focus is on watching your customer right through the sales funnel, I'd give it a go.

Works great with Wordpress, and has a plugin that makes setup a cinch.
