The cat’s gravy is obviously Google Analytics. Great coverage and slick UI. Awstats is what I run since I host all of these sites off a server at my house — gives more detail than you could imagine.

Reinvigorate presents another look at stats with slick graphs and ajax based UI. Enter wordpress.com! Since I’ve switched from b2evolution to wordpress, I’ve used my wordpress API key to utilize Akismet. Now the crew offers a stats collection for all blogs registered under my API key. Andy Skelton released a plugin that logs all hits appropriately.

I guess you can never have TOO many stats apps, unless the javascript they load adds to your user’s page load times.

The program receives feed from your account to let you know what activity is occurring on your website. They’ve set up several javascript variables to allow for certain event triggering as well. Since my sites aren’t exactly high traffic sites, I’m not sure if that is a good thing or not for this tool. I think it is still a cool concept.
