Clicky is Google Analytics all grown up
Clicky is a new web analytics package that is looking to give the current king of web analytics, Google Analytics, a run for its money. Like any site tracking service, you create an account, insert some code into your pages (or if you are using one of the popular blogging platforms, simply install the relevant plugin), and watch as Clicky gathers statistics for your site in real-time.
The service sets itself apart by being very well designed and easy to read, but also by including extra related features, like the ability to include your FeedBurner statistics, tracking Twitter statistics, and providing an integrated link shortening service based on its related domain name clicky.me.
The free version of Clicky is ad-supported, but a Pro version is also available.
A few of Clicky's more obscure features need a Pro account to use. For example, with a pro account you can set up Twitter searches for your brand name or URL, and then see how many mentions you are getting.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Love Clicky, I signed up for a Pro account earlier this year and sold off all my Mint licenses. I can't stand Google Analytics' UI and the 24 hour wait is kinda silly. Clicky is great analytics, great UI, slick features, and more on the way. They just released a major new WordPress plugin that can auto-tweet your new posts with a Clicky short URL, allowing you to track stats around your short URLs in addition to website traffic.
Awesome service.

You forgot to add that Clicky has a restriction on the number of sites one can add and also on the amount of traffic it tracks. It is also "not new", and is similar to Performancing.
If you are looking for a real good, no holds barred real-time analytics service, I would recommend reinvigorate.net.

Looks cool! I'm just trying it out now, and I like how you can view users by IP address unlike Google Analytics.
Reinvigorate.net looks really cool. I signed up for the beta, but I don't know how long it takes to get an invite.
