Google Analytics, First Thoughts
I'm not going to provide a review for Google Analytics as it would take far too much time and thought given that for me it's little more than a novelty for my website. But it does show again, what Google can do to provide good tools (for free) to those in need.
What is Google Analytics? It's a website analysis tool. It tracks the who, what, when and where (to and from) of all the content on your website. I started tagging my site to allow its use a few days ago and I finally have some data. Most people seem to be coming to my site through Google (big shock) and Yahoo. It is not telling me if they are using an RSS reader, etc. so wish item number one. It is possible that it does tell me that but I wasn't able to find it in the 10 minutes I've been playing around with it. My err and congratulations to the Google team if they have that one covered!
Again, Google uses AJAX to really create a light and good looking application. The interface is clean and simple. The application provides exporting via Excel or XML format. Little things DO matter. So,suggestion number 2, lets see a bigger map, or better yet, a link to Google Maps or Google Earth!
Some picture for your enjoyment.
This first one shows the map where all my adoring fans are! There are some people in England and Texas (Laredo) viewing! Welcome! (who knew?)

Here's their summary view:
