I’ve been using awstats for a while and I was satsisfied with it. One of the biggest problems is really that it shows all traffic. I’m not really interested in seeing all the traffic generated by all the bots. Enter Google Analytics. It takes some time to get data in there I guess, but I really like all the breakdowns. It even gives me stats for cities in addition to country. Since it’s Javascript based I guess it doesn’t show much bots either.

One of the first comparable stats shows that analytics has about 60% of the hits shown by awstats.

Oh, and 55% of the hits are Firefox. 🙂

FireFox has reached 100 million downloads. Congrats. It just sucks it’s been acting up with me lately. It keeps hanging and crashing several times a day, even on different machines. So I’m giving Opera a spin, and hoping FireFox will get stable on the next release. As one of the tools I use the most during a day it won’t do with regular crashes.

After a short test with Google Reader, I’m back to Bloglines. I’m more effective on that, but probably miss more. The main point is really to spend as little time as possible finding the good stuff each day within an acceptable level of articles I miss.
