New version of Google Analytics
Posted by Brice Le Blevennec | Filed under General
Google just released a new version of the Google Analytics reporting interface.
What is new?
In the new version, reports have been redesigned for clarity, greater visibility of important metrics, and ease of use. Here are just a few of the features :
- Email and export reports: Schedule or send ad-hoc personalized report emails and export reports in PDF format.
- Custom Dashboard: No more digging through reports. Put all the information you need on a custom dashboard that you can email to others.
- Trend and Over-time Graph: Compare time periods and select date ranges without losing sight of long term trends.
- Contextual help tips: Context sensitive Help and Conversion University tips are available from every report.
The new interface has everything the previous interface had and more. In addition, links within reports make it easier to navigate related information and explore your data.
Will the web change ?

With 10 other belgians, I was invited to Mix07 by Microsoft in Las Vegas. The sessions were really interesting, the people very nice and the location absolutely great.
Here is a good summary to what was launched by Microsoft during that huge event.
Silverlight (WPF/E), Expression Suite, Visual Studio ‘Orca’, Live services, free video hosting (WMV only), … a lot of things at once. Some said that the web would change forever.
As a geek I will of course test the DLR and try to code some ruby/python snippets generating Silverlight eye candy (as soon as we get some doc 
It’s all simple XML files, better than generating binary flash files… unless you get Flex (now open source version) or OpenLaszlo.
As head of R&D at Emakina I may launch a few “proof of concept” projects for daring customers or internal tests. We have a dozen of .net developpers that will love having the opportunity to code interfaces (they are jalous of our Action Script developpers in the studio) instead of boring reliable server side applications. We will probably develop a few intranet applications for our Windows only customers, aggregating RSS, Virtual Earth, or building beautifull charts and more…
I may even develop a Silverlight version of VW Escape TV just for fun. The Expression suite seems all very playfull and cool …
… but just as even MTV gave up with full flash sites and roll back to HTML, will the market adopt another multimedia delivery platform ? Which may lock them with Microsoft software to edit their web content (unless able to write XAML by hand).
Will web agencies forget soon about 30 years of war for getting at least a few working standard ?
Will the Unix world surrender and install Vista ?
Will Macintosh users with a PowerPC processor upgrade to an Intel Mac to visit Silverlight enhanced websites ?
Let me know your opinion in comments.

D’abord il y avait Noah avec son hit youtube: un film avec des photos de sa geule tous les jours pendant 6 ans. Puis dix millards de copies avec des mecs avec des gueules encore plus bêtes. Maintenant enfin la même chose avec une gonzesse. Et elle est bonne en plus!
