Library Code People:
1 - What do you use for your web statistics package? Are you happy
with it? Pros/Cons?
2 - What do you wish you used or had access to?
3 - Opinions on Specific Projects:
3.1 Piwiki/Mint
Piwik and Mint both seem pretty interesting to me because they solve
some of the problems of "traditional" log file analysis (see http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/the-limitations-of#comments)
, while of course introducing their own set of problems: given their
reliance on a RDBMS to store each page load, there are some obvious
scaling concerns for very high traffic sites, for example.
I wonder if anyone here has put either of these or similar systems to
the test on high traffic (define in your own terms) sites.
3.2 Google Analytics and/or Urchin
Some libraries have incorporated Google Analytics into their privacy
policies: http://www.google.com/search?q=google+analytics+libraries+privacy&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
.
So, anyone here passionate one way or the other? Other Pros/Cons?
Of course, favorite resources, questions I should be asking and the
like are welcomed and appreciated as well :).
In advance: thanks!
Cheers,
-Chad
