Popular blog platform of Google's, Blogger, has just introduced a full-featured, real time stat service into the dashboard .

Though Google Analytics and many other third party tools are available to track Blogger.com's blog traffic, they mostly have to be configured by the user.
That's not the case with Bloggers analytics, which is pre-configured. The user has nothing to install or configure.


The coolest thing about the new Blogger Stats is that it monitors and analyzes your visitor traffic in real time, which technically is not possible with other tools not even in Google Analytics.

Users can see traffic of all posts; which site is sending most traffic; which popular search keywords attracting visitors; and, it also shows from which country the visitor is coming and browser info.Right now it's available for Blogger in Draft Service only but soon company will move this nifty feature to the main Blogger platform.



Anyone remember MeasureMap? For those that don't - Jeffrey Veen and Adaptive Path sold their analytics platform to Google over four year ago. The MeasureMap product was built mainly for blogger. It was a great opportunity for Google to improve its own analytics platform (Urchin), which is now known as Gogole Analytics.

As after the acquisition, people were guessing that Google would implement it with the Blogger.com, but they never did, till now.

Google Analytics is far more advanced and features rich data, but don't forget, Blogger Stats provides the data in real time and there's no coding.

To try out Blogger Stats, go to Blogger in Draft, and click on the new “Stats” tab.

What do you think of the new service? let us know in comments.

Streamy is a real time personalized news site which is a news Reader like Google Reader which aggregates news and content via RSS. The service smiler to FriendFeed with the blend of social networking and sharing. Many user switch to Streamy after the facebook's FriendFeed acquisition. Many seen Streamy could be the new FriendFeed.

Due to lake of investments the startup is shutting its awesome Web app which is a really sad news. They didn't notify on their blog or twitter about this, but according to the homepage notice they going to send the email to it's users in few days regarding subscription export.

In a short notice posted online, on Streamy Homepage:

Personally, It was a truly best service I found on web for by news reading habits and best alternative of Google Reade, FriendFeed.

PubSubHubbub protocol, which turns feeds into real-time streams and recently Google Reader has started rolling out support for PubSubHubbub and readers like FriendFeed, Livedoor Reader (a feed reader popular in Japan), and FavIt already support PubSubHubbub

So what it means?

When you post in Blogger, your posts will surface in real time in Google Reader or other that support this protocol. Best of all, your blog is already broadcasting updates so you don't need to do anything to enable it, it will appears in real time in above readers. See the demo in the Embed Video.

All blog post feeds now contain a "hub" element, and will ping Google's hub on every post update. If you're a developer writing code to monitor feeds and want to get updates efficiently in near real-time, you just need to detect the hub link and subscribe to the hub server. Then, sit back and let the hub push updates to you.

Brad Fitzpatrick and Brett Slatkin who worked on a 20% project with the Blogger team to add this support



This is one of many features announced as part of Blogger's 10th birthday
