Mashup Contest: Chartbeat API & Google Analytics API

2009-05-27T11:24:00.001+02:00

Twitter analytics within your Google Analytics account

Chartbeat is a real-time web site analytics provider. It’s a new and very slick service that provides a rich set of real-time analytics

The difference between Google Analytics and Chartbeat is in some ways similar to the difference between Google Search and Twitter Search. Google Search is unparalleled at searching the archive and can deliver huge amounts of relevant information. What it can’t do and what Twitter Search is so good at is searching the now. When a plane lands in the Hudson or Mumbai suffers a terrorist attack, Twitter search is far more useful than Google search. [via blog.chartbeat]
