Not good for Woopra I guess, but they kinda overpromised in my opinion.

Converting lurkers is good sign for a blog. :)

On privacy… just for a scale. In country where I live government databases are consistently leaked every year and it’s relatively easy and cheap to buy such information as home phones+addresses, automobile owners and taxes. Mobile numbers are bit harder (lots of prepaid) but probably possible as well.

So when someone can go and buy such information on you (and few millions more) it’s kinda stupid to worry about email. :)

On Woopra presentation I find interface too static. Even web-based GA allows to drag widgets around but in Woopra everything is glued where developers put it. It’s strange when desktop app is less flexible than online one.

You should be cautious though using just an email a lot of information can be found out about you. Especially in times of social media and Facebook etc.

I haven’t got large scale traffic either; but the end of month figures of the two did vary by a few hundred. Though i’m happy to continue using woopra as I said while there are bugs etc its presentation is a lot easier to understand then GA.

There are a lot of scary things in life. Frankly I don’t rank someone knowing my email address very high among them. :)

I hadn’t noticed large difference between Woopra and GA, that may be because of relatively small traffic of mine. I was more annoyed with downtimes and funcitons turning on and off all the time, first few weeks search wasn’t working, etc.

Thanks for your visit and comment. :)

It truly is scary though the post goes of on a tangent.

re: woopra – indeed it is ‘beta’ in every sense of the word. There is always discrepancy between it and analytics…however its method of display and aggregation of certain data is very useful.

Well, privacy is common concern but we hardly have a choice. Trying to anonymize Internet experience is pretty hard (and basically shoots that experience).

Glad you like my blog. :) Looking forward to more comments from you on future posts.

Just read this little part; http://www.woopra.com/forums/topic/about-my-love-and-fear-of-woopra-in-danish#post-102

But again; I also have no idea how it really works.
And if you search the internet; there are already a lot of questions about the behavior of Google… The “spyware” they put in Chrome..?? ;)

Btw – really like ya website !

Strange, can’t confirm because all personal info I had ever seen in Woopra was for those who left comments.

If Google was giving email in referrals that would have created huge backlash long ago I think.

According to the builder of Woopra it is using traces of google…. which means that I was able to see his email address which he has been checking – and googled after that for my website… (he always gets in via Google) and that way I was able to see his email address; which means = Google is leaving to much traces….
(I garantuee you = I am not making there 2 up !!)
