Woopra is an online website stats package that is currently in Beta. Hold on, no need to fall asleep! ( I saw those eyes glazing over!) Woopra makes monitoring your site stats fun (yes really)!
Sure it has all the usual graphs showing the most common web browsers that have visited your site and which sites are linking to you and so on. What makes Woopra stand out is that unlike other packages that only update their stats perhaps once a day, Woopra stats are live. Thanks to a world map you can actually see where each visitor is surfing from and you can see which pages they click on (including links that take them from your site) as they click! In fact you can even strike up an Instant Messenger type conversation with them (might freak then out though to think you’re watching them…).
Sorry we’ve been a bit quiet the past 10 days or so, but we’ve been very busy with some new e-commerce software!
This is a new open source system and the day it launched we grabbed it and got to grips with it, peeking under the hood and figuring out (there is no documentation yet for developers such as ourselves) how to modify it to look and work exactly as our clients would want. We’ve added a load of eye candy so your stores will really stand out against your competition..
As soon as our first live project is completed (which should be a little over a week from now) we’ll post a link to it but until then, here’s a sneak peek of the work in progress: (more…)
With sales of 1 million handsets in the first 3 days alone, the latest 3G iPhone stands a good chance of becoming the most popular way for people to browse websites with a handheld device.
With just a few limitations (lack of flash compatibility for example) an iPhone can happily browse most standard, well written web sites. So why bother going to the trouble of making a specific version of your site for the iPhone? There are several reasons:
Make the experience a lot more pleasant for the user by helping them avoid zooming and scrolling around
Pull out the iPhone incompatible bits so their experience is flawless, while maintaining eye candy for regular users
Make the experience quicker (and thus bearable) for the users who are browsing over a (relatively) low bandwidth connection.
It’s a little known fact that all monitors display colours slightly differently. For example some have a bit of a blue tint to them, some an orange tint and so on. The brightness and saturation is often way off too, normally set far too high from the factory (to catch your attention in the shop).
So why should you care? Well, do you share your photos by uploading them online? If you’ve darkened down your photo because you thought it was too bright someone with a properly calibrated monitor will see it as being too dark.
