Woopra is Site Stat Porn

To some people, site stats are like porn. To them, Woopra would be a free 24/7 live webcam sex chat orgy.
Woopra offers the usual externally-hosted site stat service through a JavaScript drop-in, but differentiates itself with three key features:
1) Realtime stats through a graphically rich desktop client. Funky.
2) Ability to initiate in-browser chat with readers. Freaky.
3) Identification of members and commenters through CMS plugins. Friendly.
Plugins available for WordPress and vBulletin, but the JavaScript drop-in works for any site. Beta approval queue is long — took me a while to get mine — but it’s worth the wait. It’s like a Bloomberg box for your online media empire. I’ve installed Woopra on my personal blog; drop by and I just might say hi.
I’ve scared a couple of readers by saying, “Hi!” while they were reading my site. I love Woopra and have been really impressed with its functionality and ease of use.
I was one of the early beta testers and can’t say enough good things about it. MUCH better than other stat programs out there.
Have you noticed the site is down? Wonder if they forgot to renew their URL?
