Live Web Site Stats: Whos.Amung.Us

widget If you run your own web site or blog as a hobby, reading the stats from that site can be pretty exciting, almost to point where your friends (those without web sites) pretend to get phone calls while you’re gushing over the recent surge in traffic you’ve seen coming from Ireland. Where are these people coming from? Where do they live? How did they find my site? How many people actually read my stuff!? All these questions run through your head as you sift through the numbers provided by your tracking program of choice (I use Google Analytics). Unless, of course, you simply continually refresh your own web site to artificially increase your page hits in which case, I’m sorry…

Another potentially exciting thing would be knowing exactly how many people are viewing your web site at any moment. Who’s.Amung.Us [sic] can answer your question with ease. When you visit the site, a unique code is generated for you that you can place on your site. The resulting image (like the one in this post) shows the number of people who are viewing any part of your site at that moment. Clicking on the image will bring you to a stats page that shows historical data of concurrent users.

Lastly, for those looking for instant gratification, you can install a Firefox plugin that will display the number of visitors on your site in the status bar.
