Google Analytics Reporting Suite: Track your web stats without a browser

by Brad Linder Dec 5th 2007

While we're on the topic of ways to access Google's analytic tools without a web browser, Google Analytics Reporting Suite breathes new life into Google's already powerful web analytics tools.

Not only does this tool let you access your data without a web browser, but the user interface is much prettier and more responsive than Google's default UI. Since a video is worth a few thousand words, we figured the best way to demonstrate just how easy it is to manage your data was to shoot a short video, which you can see above.

You can run all the same reports using this tool as you would from Google's site, they just load more quickly. You can also export reports as PDF, XLS, or XML files.

Analytics Reporting Suite runs on Adobe AIR, so you'll need to download and install AIR on your Windows or Mac machine before you can use the reporting suite.

Looks like it shows everything the original analytics tool shows. What are the benefits to this program besides the ability to take it offline?

Does it work with latest release of AIR now??? Used to have conflict if I ain't wrong.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
