Google Aquires New Stats Service - Measuremap
Google has been going aquisition crazy lately...this new little toy looks pretty neat though.
It was this feeling that led to the idea of Measure Map. Our goal has been to use the power of web analytics to help bloggers feel that same sense of connection with their audience. Today, as the Measure Map team joins Google, our mission remains the same: to build the best possible user experience so people can understand and appreciate the effect their blogs - their words and ideas - can have.

Measure Map helps you understand what people do at your blog, and what influence you are having on the world.
- Easily navigate the numbers that matter
- Track links to see who sends you traffic
- Find out what people do at your site
- Setup is a breeze — it only takes a minute
It's reported that's it's barely of the Alpha stage and it's still error prone and not so accurate, I'd imagine it would be a nightmare to integrate it with Google Analytics too..perhaps they are just keeping it out of someone elses hands.
There are rumours that their big move into stats is to cut down on Google Adsense/Google Adwords click fraud, which is an issue for both users and companies.
Measure Map seems to be pretty much aimed at bloggers too, seems like a neat service, I'll probably give it a try when it's out.
