Thanks; never heard of Woopra, but I am a sucker for eye candy and those reports look sweet and laden with data and stats. I need to check that bad mamma jamma out.
Well woopra is very new, and when it's out of beta, it will be a commercial service as opposed to google's free service. However from the limited amount i've played with it, it's much cooler than google's.
I want to test it sometime soon but if anyone does, give us a rundown will ya, esp. with a comparison to getclicky (which you don't have to install to test. demo:
http://www.getclicky.com/stats/home?site_id=10
)
Just from reading the site, woopra seem to take the getclicky spy feature (see in top menu on the demo), and add the ability to initiate a chat with users you see appearing. Can someone confirm this for me if you test it. thanks.
The main difference is that woopra is a lot more realtime. THere's a live view where you see your users and their activity, this is much more interactive than getclicky's 'spy' view. Ther's a world map view you can scroll around on it does these cool little pings as you get hits.
Andy set it to notify him when a visitor from Fiji visited. As soon as I opened up RT just now, he initiated a chat
Pretty amazing stuff.
Imagine if there was a way to tie this in with the Joomla user tables and sessions.... thereby putting usernames to the IP's. Then you could initiate a chat with.. say Joe K.
"Hey there Joe, you posted in a new thread how you couldn't figure out how to make text bold using the WYSIWYG editor... gimme your super admin username and pwd and I'll make your text bold for you". ( @ Joe)
More realistically, I can see this happening maybe 2 yrs down the road with the use of OpenID. Register your OpenID with woopra and use OpenID to authenticate in Joomla.
Lets just hope webmasters everywhere use it in moderation. I could be annoying... like sales assistants in a brick and mortar store following you around.
actually already integrated it with joomla user info and created 1.0 and 1.5 plugins. Now as long as your logged into joomla, it uses your joomla name in the tracking. Also it supposedly supports gravatar support, but it seems the mac client at least is not showing it.
