…or as I would like to believe. I have a number of websites for which I use Google analytics and I check the stats on a regular basis. However, ever since Google applied the “new” design I had some trouble interpreting the main visitor statistics graph.
When ever you would hover with the mouse on one of the blue dots it would bring up a tool-tip stating the date of that particular blue dot. However, it would only say something like “18 October, 2007″. Now, what day was the 18th of October exactly? Was it a Monday, a Friday…? It would never give me context that I needed and I always had to look this up on a separate calender. A bit of a pain if you’d ask me. So, a couple of weeks ago I wrote the Google Analytics support team an email explaining my problem. And voila! When hovering the blue dots the other day it now states the day of the week in front of the date.
Now, I’m sure that Google already had this on their TODO list, but I would still like to believe that they actually listened to my suggestion. Anyways, all in all pretty cool…
