Q-bits

In a classic case of one-upmanship, like in I’ll do you one better, Yahoo just released its own web analytics application to rival that of Google. As a long-time (and satisfied) user of Google Analytics and web analytics in general – this site is running on one – what is instantly attractive in Yahoo’s offering is the promise of almost real time turn around, and access to raw data. Google normally needs 8-12 hours hours to display your current statistics.

Yahoo Analytics is based on IndexTools, which Yahoo recently acquired and now has quickly put to good use.
