What would stop google to add a couple of lines to Analytics to match that functionality?
Scale. It's easy to give real time stats when you're only monitoring a few hundred sites. There's a lot more data to crunch when you're trying to monitor half the web.

getclicky.com monitors over 200,000 sites and it's real time. Sure it's challenging to provide that level of service but without challenge life is dull.

I only meant to imply that providing such a feature is more work than a "few lines of code" when you're trying to monitor millions of sites in real time.
Hmm, this site has failed me from a usability standpoint. After browsing there via Firefox, I was told I could not use the site without Flash (which I don't have installed for Firefox). That's usually strike one. But I really was interested in what the site had to offer. So, after copying the URL and opening Internet Explorer to see the page, which I often do on Flash-centric designs, I got this notification: === You…
The "users" are the site administrators. I think it's fair to expect an administrator to be able to install Flash or SL.
However, the crux of my problem is that they are requiring Flash for Mozilla and SilverLight for IE. My advice for them is to pick one and do it "right."
But, it's their site, not mine.
