New Apps & Plugins page. About time!
Oh man did our old "integration" help page need an overhaul. Other than adding links to some new plugins as they were brought into our knowledge, it hadn't been updated at all since 2007! And boy was it ugly. Plus, there was no mention of any of the apps that people have written for Clicky, such as ClickyTouch or ClickyChrome, anywhere on our site. (Other than blog posts announcing them, which soon disappear into the great ether.)
Unacceptable! I just spent the last four hours redoing the entire page, making it very quick and easy to find and install all of the applications and plugins that our awesome customers have developed over the years. Not a single piece of software on this page was written by us. It's all you and we love you for it! I also added a link to it in our main sidebar navigation that you see on all pages other than when viewing reports, because we want as many people as possible to know about all of this great software.

Split testing, new features for goals, and better visitor history
Alrighty, yesterday I went over a few new features after they were released, but that was just so you didn't think they were broken 🙂 If you haven't read that post yet, please read it here, so you understand a few limitations of the new features until some historical post processing has been completed.
We now have built in support for split testing. We're planning on using this extensively on getclicky.com itself, but we wanted to get it out as soon as possible so we haven't created any tests yet. But I wanted to have a screenshot for you, so I created a fake split test on our user registration page. There was no actual difference between what the visitors saw, we were just telling Clicky tracking that there was. Here's what it looks like:

New features. Some of them might seem broken, and here's why!
Our new release is out. It's been in the works for almost 30 days. There is a metric happy ton of new stuff in here, especially if you use goals. But… it's been a LONG 48 hours preparing for some big database changes behind the scenes, so the last thing I want to do right now is write the nice, detailed blog post this release deserves. I'll do that after some sleep! Plus, that will give the database servers a chance to process some of the new data we're tracking, so I can show you screenshots of the new features with real data from Clicky's traffic.
There are a few features I want to discuss right now, because if I don't, you're going to think they're broken. That's because they rely on a core feature that we just added for unique visitors, where we now track how many times each unique person has visited your site, and the session ID of their first visit.

ClickyTouch for iPhone
Steve Reynolds has spent the last few weeks developing a native iPhone application called ClickyTouch. It looks pretty dang slick and you can download it right here. Steve's description of the app:
Keep up to date throughout every view of your stats, with self refreshing data such as active users on your site, your bounce rate, average session time and overall comparison percentage versus this time yesterday. In as many cases as possible, data refreshes whilst you look at it! No refresh buttons here!

Updates to the new Clicky
Before bringing "small site" mode back (we disabled it right after official new Clicky release because of serious bugginess), we asked you to help us test the new code on beta.getclicky.com. No one reported any bugs with it so it should be good now!
Note that you may need to force refresh your browser window to get these changes.
