Clicky turns 3
Clicky launched on November 28, 2006. I can't believe it's been three years, but the calendars don't lie. Clicky is now tracking over 155,000 web sites, powered by over 30 servers chugging along in the background. We never expected it to get this big. We greatly appreciate everyone who has supported us throughout the years and told your friends and colleagues about our service — Clicky has spread purely by word of mouth and that's the best kind of marketing anyone can ask for. Thank you for everything.

New global marketshare reports
We've just released our new global marketshare interface, and it adds a ton of new features. Previously, we only reported on global browser and OS family marketshare. Here's what's new:
And the best part, like Clicky, it's updated in real time. You don't have to wait until December to see November's marketshare — it's there as it happens.

We just launched a URL shortener. Are we insane?
The last thing the world needs is another damn URL shortener. There is no money to be made in this business, yet a new one launches pretty much every day. They're all mostly the same, offering some basic analytics like how many people clicked your link, and maybe the top referrers and geolocation of these clickers.
That's all well and good but there's something lacking: you don't get any data on your visitors after they arrive at your site. And that's the data that really matters. Who cares how many people clicked if you don't know what they did when they actually got to your web site?

Twitter Mania — the best update we've ever released
If you are a Twitter user, or at least understand the value of the data that's available from their real time search engine, this update should blow you away.
We use Twitter to heavily monitor what our competitors are saying, and what other people are saying about them. Amongst other things. You can get any search result from Twitter via RSS, which is handy, but it's just a raw stream. I've wanted to summarize this data for a while now so I had it all in one place and could easily sort through it. I'm not a fan of any of the tools currently available, so I decided to bake one right into Clicky.
