Filter visitors by page, better segmentation — and more!
We just released an update that's been two months in the making. On the surface, there are only a couple of major differences you'll notice, but they are very cool ones for sure. What took so long was designing and implementing an entirely new system for how we store page URLs, and converting all of the existing data into that new format (many hundreds of millions of database rows). This fixed a couple of annoying problems we've had with the system from the beginning, and let us build some awesome new features on top. Let's get to it.
You can now filter your visitors by a page they have viewed. This has been a big request. Works in the API too, just use the parameter "href" with the "visitors-list" type. You should only be sending the path and query (e.g. everything AFTER "http://yoursite.com"), unless the page you want to filter by is on a mirror or sub-domain, or it's an outbound link. For example here's how we'd grab all visitors who saw our /users/ page, and all visitors who clicked our company's web site in our footer (http://roxr.net):

Clicky is now available in 12 languages
The translations are live! Clicky is now available in Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. You can set your "global" language from your user homepage by clicking the "edit" link in the top right corner. This preference will apply throughout the entire getclicky.com. You can also set this preference on a "per site" basis, from any site's preferences page, if for any reason you want one or more of your sites to be in a language other than your main selection.
Note that none of the languages are fully complete yet, although a few of them are really close. Any phrase that is not yet available in your selected language will simply be displayed in English instead. Also note that we haven't fully implemented the translations throughout the entire site yet. It is about 95% on all pages having to do with your stats, but I haven't gotten it into any of the /user/ pages yet. I'll be working on further integration throughout the week.

Real time campaign and goal tracking
The wait is over. I locked myself up for 2 weeks and did nothing but work on goals and campaigns. Seriously, I'm about to pass out here. We're really happy to have them out, but we're also really excited because Clicky is the ONLY service that offers either of these features in REAL TIME!
These features are for Pro and trial account holders only. We made them as efficient as possible to process, but there is still a good amount of overhead involved. Until we can gauge how much this affects performance when we have a bunch of sites using it, we are limiting each site to a maximum of 7 goals and 7 campaigns. This limit will be raised in the future. Quick breakdown:

Announcing Clicky for your iPhone
We released a sneak peak of our new iPhone interface on Friday to some of our users, but we are announcing it officially today. If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you can point it to m.getclicky.com and use an interface designed specifically for the iPhone.
Please note, this is not meant as a full replacement of Clicky, but rather a supplement for on-the-go. It has most of the features of the desktop service, but it's lacking a few such as visitor filtering and Spy. We know how much you all love Spy and we would like to add that in the future, but the performance on the iPhone is really bad for that type of thing. We'll see what we can do in the future, though!

New popular data filters are incredibly useful
Anywhere you are shown popular data (except the dashboard - coming soon!), you now also have the option of filtering that down so you can quickly find items you are looking for. It's been on my list for a while but I guess I didn't realize quite how useful this type of filtering would be until I was actually able to use it on my own data. So how useful is that? Very. Here's what it looks like (top right corner in red):
So anything you type in this box, the list will be narrowed down to only items that contain exactly what you typed in, whether that match is the whole string, or just the start, middle, or end of it. If the data you are viewing is "content" related, which means there is both a name and a URL, then the filter is applied to both the name and the URL.
