Get Woopra: Interactive Live Statistics Tool
March 31st, 2008A cool new web statistics tool called Woopra is buzzing across the blogosphere with cool reviews and features that might convince you to use it as your default web traffic tracking tool.
Created by John P. of One Man’s Blog, Woopra promises to give you real time statistics from your website about each visitor and enable you to understand in depth how your visitors are navigating around your site right now and chat with them instantly, how cool is that! There are 2 free live web traffic services I really like – Feejit and Amung.us, and it is good to see them integrated is some form here.
Unfortunately, the service is not open to everyone, though you can sign up and await approval for your site. or get a Woopra invite and try out the service now. I created a Woopra account, added my websites, confirmed the confirmatory email, and now am pending approval, which the panel says will take ‘7 business days’. If I had a Woopra invite, I could get this site instantly approved right now, but the form gives me a hint that high traffic sites (>10000 pageviews per day) may have to wait a little more till they get more stable. I hope they open it up soon enough… before the buzz is over.
GeekBrief reviewed Woopra and compiled an amazing video that lets you preview the features.
The rich, client side Java application installs on a Mac, PC or Linux machine supporting the latest version of Java. And data streams to the interface in the form of lush looking maps, charts, graphics and text. Woopra logs details what pages your visitors look at, where they came from and what keywords they searched for to lead them to your site. Reading back the description I just wrote, it doesn’t seem like anything new. The excitement comes from the visual nature of the application.

Looks pretty interesting.. but the site has so many bugs, I couldn’t sign up since the captcha never showed up even after multiple refreshes ! (I didn’t realize that there was captcha until I saw NullPointerException :) )
The Demo and Screenshot page also doesn’t have even a single screenshot or a demo !!
It’s amazing how showing this to a few hundred people at WordCamp Dallas as a demo has exploded into a huge demand. Everyone was totally caught off guard, especially the development team. It’s really a couple months from being ready. Still a little hype is okay.
And Woopra deserves it. They are working overtime to get this up and going, and to expand their servers to approve invites as fast as possible, but they may also have to cut off the invites at some point while they finish testing. It’s early days and they are working to accommodate every time of site and their traffic as well as every person interested.
It’s a great team and what they have done with this program is amazing. I can’t use it on WordPress.com…yet…so I’m with you in the waiting. I may have to wait even longer. And it is indeed worth the wait.
PS: What is 3+7? You know I adore your blog, but this number torture test rarely equals 10. It keeps telling me I have my math wrong. I constantly have trouble commenting here and my math is not that bad. :D Please, this doesn’t work and it stops me from commenting many times as I don’t have the time to keep going back and trying again and losing the comment and rewriting it over and over. ARGH.
Hmm. The math test had been gone. Taking Lorelle’s advice i see? :D
Yep. The math test is gone. Thanks Lorelle for letting me know. There is nothing worse than a miscalculating captcha. ;-)
I got a small Woopra competition, the rewards are Woopra invitations :) check out my blog for more info and a demo of Woopra.
