[Update @ 22.15pm]<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re currently surveying the impact that public stats have on the load time of the main URL and other pages of RazorianFly. During this time we may pull the stats feature(s) completely to test difference in load speed(s) … <\/p>\n

Original Article:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When starting this blog in late July I came across a statistics service which was visual, reliable and more importantly, useful. Who’s Amung Us is a free statistics service which allows you to embed a widget into your blog or site which will track how many ‘people’ are currently browsing, as well as provide a short overview of which pages are being viewed at that time. They just updated the service, and we’re taking full advantage of it …<\/p>\n

I loved the service as it was, but the guys over at Who’s Amung Us last night pushed out version 2.0, and I have to say it’s even more polished than before. Ok – they admit that they are still working out the kinks<\/a> after moving to a new system, but normal behavior should resume shortly. <\/p>\n

As you probably know, we’ve taken advantage of their stats for a good few months now and they’re awesome, but today we have something new, which we find pretty damn hot … all thanks to WAU. <\/p>\n

It’s a real-time map of current visitors on the blog – See down there, on the right sidebar underneath ‘Latest Videos’? Each visitor is represented as a ‘blue dot’ and you can now run your mouse over any of them to see where they are browsing from.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Active visitors (currently on the blog) are displayed as a ‘flashing’ dot, while recent but inactive visitors are just shown as a dot. The statistics are in real-time<\/strong> (How cool or that?) and so if someone were to leave razorianfly.com, the blue dot from that visitor would disappear. Same goes for people just entering Razorianfly.com, they will flash once on the map on arrival. <\/p>\n

We’ll be providing the other widget too – tracking page views per visitor – again soon.<\/p>\n

Finally, we highly recommend them to anyone with a blog!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
