Woopra, my favourite web analytics software, will soon be closing its doors to Beta registrations. They report on their blog:
- A 50,000 site “beta” is certainly a big enough sample to work through bugs and take suggestions.
- We have a number of projects underway that we need to turn our attentions to temporarily and this will allow us to focus on core improvements as opposed to continual expansion.
- We continue to hear from the community that you’d like more personalized attention, and pausing the site additions will ensure against further dilution of our current limited resources.
Woopra certainly is something a little special in the world of site analytics, so if you’re interested in giving it a go during the Beta phase, get your invitation request in quick!

I this week finally received my long awaited invitation to Reinvigorate, the forever in Beta web site reporting too.
If you’re a regaular reader, you’ll know about my obsession with web site stats and hence how my heart went a fluttering on receipt of the invite. Yes, I know, I really do need to get out more.
Anyway, here’s what you get:
You get more than that, obviously, but I’ve found this the most useful view of the stats so far. In fact, as far as checking today and comparing with yesterday, it’s about the best view of all the stats packages I’ve tried so far. And therein lies the problem with web site stats packages. This particular Reinvigorate view is great for that specific data, in the same way that Google Analytics wins hands down for me for showing me the overall trend of visitors, and in the same way that GetClicky wins hands down in showing visitors hitting the sites in real-time. Reinvigorate has a Mac and Windows client you can download to watch visitors in real-time, but it gives you nowhere near the amount of data you get from GetClicky’s Spy view. What do you mean I should have better things to do than watch real-time visitor data?
So, if someone comes up with something that’s a cross between Reinvigorate, Google Analytics and GetClicky (oh, and Statcounter for that matter), let me know!
