7 Amazing User-Tracking Services

September 12th, 2007 by Robin Tebrake

The market of free tracking services is full of good and bad tools. So I collected the best and most innovative tracking services that are available. They are useful for every webmaster to optimize/monetize his site and see what content is appealing to the masses.

google.com/analytics/Google Analytics is a great user tracking service because it shows you most of all important information you need about your visitors like where they from, what site referred them (and links, keywords etc…). Also it creates handy graphs to easily see how your site grows or not.

amung.uswhos.amung.us does not offer a lot of statistics (just 3) but 2 very useful services. The first good one is a live-counter, which of course shows the number of current visitors and the page they are browsing on. The second tool is a “normal” graph that displays a few colored bars. The last but very cool one, is a map which allows you, in addition to see what page your visitors are browsing, to locate each user on a map.

Amung.us Now With Maps

September 2nd, 2007 by Gerrit Tebrake

amung.usAs you may noticed, we have a small button on the right sidebar which shows the number of recent visitors. It’s a service of amung.us, called whos.amung.us. When you click on the button it used to show a list of what sub-sites your visitors are surfing on and you could see hourly, daily, monthly and yearly graphs (graphs.amung.us). At the beginning of this week they re-designed the page a bit and added a handy feature called maps.amung.us. It enables you to see where your visitors are from - on a map.

maps.amung.us

The maps have a clean design and if needed they can be customized a little. The cool thing about amung.us is that you only have to insert one of their widgets to make all of the three services work for you!

FotoFlexer - The Future Of Online Editing?!

September 2nd, 2007 by Gerrit Tebrake

Over the last few months a lot of photo editing services launched. To name a few popular sites: Picnik, Fauxto, Phixr, picture2life. And now a new startup wants to beat’em all - FotoFlexer.FotoFlexer

With FotoFlexer you can easily import and export pictures from social networks (Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, MySpace) and edit them on the go. It seems as if FotoFlexer combines all the great functionalities of other existing sites and bundled them into one masterpiece! I don’t want to say that desktop photo editing is dead, but it has another big competitor. Professionals will probably stick to Photoshop or GIMP however normal people can make use of this sites to edit,share and store photos with ease.
