I mean &#8211; unless you&#8217;re not into web stats that is. But if you are in charge of a web property with any kind of significant traffic (especially e-commerce) you can&#8217;t deny your addiction to Google Analytics. There is nothing better than boiling your visitors down to little blue dots that you can manipulate with the help of this beautiful thing called Google Analytics. If nothing else, chronically checking Google Analytics is much more productive than minesweeper or solitaire.\n<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-top: 10px; clear: left;\">Proposed feature set:<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 35px;\">\n<li>View tons of super sweet graphs<\/li>\n<li>Landscape mode (if Bloomberg can do it &#8211; so can Google)<\/li>\n<li>E-mail reports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"padding-top: 10px; clear: left;\">Current App Store alternatives:<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 35px;\">\n<li>Oracle Business Indicators (??)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jealousbrother.com\" target=\"_blank\"> <img src='http:\/\/www.jealousbrother.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/jealousbrother-ads\/jealousbrotherblogbanner3.png' alt='JealousBrother.com' class='ngg-singlepic ngg-left' \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"clear:both;background:#ccc;\" \/>\n<a name=\"adwords\"><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jealousbrother.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/iphone_icon_adwords.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone_icon_adwords\" style=\"float: left;\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-512\" height=\"61\" width=\"61\"><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 7px; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px; float: left;\">Concept iPhone App: Google AdWords<br \/>\n<span style=\"position: relative; top: -10px; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85);\"><br \/>\nBy Google &#8211; Price: FREE<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jealousbrother.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/iphone_app_adwords.jpg\" target=\"new\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jealousbrother.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/iphone_app_adwords_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone_app_blinksale_thumb\" style=\"float: right;\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-529\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-top: 10px; clear: left;\">Why do we need this?<\/h4>\n<p>\nI don&#8217;t mean to get into another rant here but I love stats.

So I tend to think it&#8217;s a bit more responsible. I&#8217;m sure Google would find value in extending this level of control to users of its #1 money maker.\n<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-top: 10px; clear: left;\">Proposed feature set:<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 35px;\">\n<li>Manage campaigns<\/li>\n<li>Manage keywords<\/li>\n<li>Manage settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"padding-top: 10px; clear: left;\">Current App Store alternatives:<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 35px;\">\n<li>Yahoo!

It probably doesn&#8217;t help their bottom line anyhow having to pay for more server techs. What would be really cool is if they could push the dollar amount to the home screen icon without even having to open the app (like the calendar that shows the current date).\n<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-top: 10px; clear: left;\">Proposed feature set:<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 35px;\">\n<li>Display revenue by date<\/li>\n<li>Push daily dollars to home screen icon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"padding-top: 10px; clear: left;\">Current App Store alternatives:<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 35px;\">\n<li>none&#8230; there can be only one<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr style=\"clear:both;background:#ccc;\" \/>\n<a name=\"local\"><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jealousbrother.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/iphone_icon_community.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone_icon_local\" style=\"float: left;\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-512\" height=\"61\" width=\"61\"><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 7px; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px; float: left;\">Concept iPhone App: Local Events Schedule<br \/>\n<span style=\"position: relative; top: -10px; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85);\"><br \/>\nBy Anyone &#8211; Price: FREE<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jealousbrother.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/iphone_app_local.jpg\" target=\"new\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jealousbrother.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/iphone_app_local_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"iphone_app_local_thumb\" style=\"float: right;\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-529\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-top: 10px; clear: left;\">Why do we need this?<\/h4>\n<p>\nThis is the type of app that lends itself to the iPhone platform.

This kind of app would bring in all that information and place it around wherever you are.
