Few weeks back, I posted about the Woopra Sharing Access and my switch from Google Analytics to Woopra. To tell you the truth, I am a major staticaholic and I don’t care about my income reports as much as my blog traffic statistics reports;) To me, one of the greatest joys of blogging or creating a new thing is watching it grow. And it’s quite the case with this blog.
So, coming back to the point, it’s been a while since I’ve started “messing around” with Woopra. The most convenient feature of Woopra is that it’s a standalone application installed on my PC that gives me the statistics of my blog. With that being said, the second most adorable feature that a statistics reporting program can have is, well, being Live! In case, you aren’t into Woopra, it reports LIVE blog statistics. Which means, you get the reports as it happens, when it happens.
For an example, right at this moment while I was writing this post, I got Woopra on screen and checked out what’s up with ROCKFUSE. This is what I got. If you can’t see the details, click on the picture and it’ll give you a larger version of itself.
As you can see, this is what’s happening live on my blog right now. There are two visitors currently browsing. One from Bucharest, Romania and the other from Hyderbad, India. I can see where they came from, what pages they have browsed and are browsing now, their browser, resolution – basically everything!
And what’s cool about is that you can initiate online Live chats with them, and even Tag them and see when and why they are coming back. So, being the socially isolated person I am, I went ahead, logged into my blog and started a conversation with myself.
And – here it is! I was notified on on the page.
And of course, it would be rude not to reply once someone had sent a chat request. So, I went and clicked the popup which brought me to a new browser chat window, so, I (or your visitor) don’t have to be browsing the blog in order to continue the chat. Here’s the magic…
So there you go! I guess this was a fairly useful demonstration of the live interactivity of Woopra. If I’m not mistaken, they are still in beta and you will have to wait sometime till your account gets approved. But as you can see, it’s definitely worth the wait. Thanks to Woopra, I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed watching live TV more than looking at my stats.
i have also got woopra on a number of my sites and its much easier to use imo then analytics.
Hey I got turned on here to Woopra from you! It is so neat, don’t look at it as watching tv. I see it more as in watching the stocks!!
Thanks for sharing WHOOPRA, I will definitely try it on my blogs
This looks wonderful – I am going to create an account with Woopra today. I think the best feature is that it is live - instead of waiting until the next day with Google Analytics to see what happened already. Thanks for the information!
It certainly looks interesting, but I’m a little concerned that it may turn off a few people from browsing sites that use it. Like if you are in a store, and you know the person behind the counter is watching you, and taking notes of everything you’re looking at, you might spend less time looking around.
I know it’s a bad analogy, but it’s just that I think one of the big draws of the internet is the anonymity the whole thing provides; and I can see that gradually getting broken down with ever more sophisticated tracking software.
I second that mate!
You’re welcome Shafiq. Give it a bit of time. WOOPRA takes time to accept new requests since it’s still in beta.
You’re welcome. Like I said, You can’t beat the LIVE-ness!
Thomas. I fully agree with you. But, when someone surfs a website, without a proxy, that someone is always on the red zone of being tracked down right? More advanced programs like WOOPRA just makes it easier..
