…but I was today. Fellow web developer Gavin Holt pointed out a new website analytics tool called Woopra. I took a look at the website not expecting to be impressed, but then I watched a few videos demoing it and I just had to give it a go.
Two hours later my Woopra account was activated, and I’ve now got rid of Google Analytics and replaced it with Woopra. I can honestly say that after 5 minutes of using it it beats Google Analytics hands down in almost every aspect. The fact that I can see visitors as they appear on my site in real time, and then talk to them and watch the route they take through my site is frankly phenomenal. Google Analytics took 24 hours to update.. long after my visitors had been and gone.
My only concern is that people might get a bit privacy conscious if I suddenly start talking to them, and asking them if they’re liking the current the page they’re on! Do you see this in a different light? Would you be shocked if this happened to you?
The only flaw i’ve spotted so far is the pop-up chat is a bit unfriendly to initiate, but that would be an easy enough problem to rectify.
I’d recommend that anyone who has a website gives Woopra ago, just to experience the power! If you’re reading this post on my site watch out, I might just demo the power of Woopra to you 
Let me know how you get on, and what you think it!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Woopra!
I could have sworn I told you about it before, but I guess I didn’t.
I’ve known John (the founder of Woopra) for six years. He does some fantastic work, and Woopra is no exception.
