Google Google Analytics Adds Real-Time Statistics to Blogger

Will such a feature be added to Google Analytics?

It seems like a natural next step. Currently, the popular Web analytics service only updates every few hours. Keeping it that way while another branch of Google is allowed to update every few minutes would be maddening for webmasters, not to mention completely nonsensical.

Then again, adding such an interesting feature to Blogger doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in the first place. Perhaps Google is simply testing it on a less popular service, but that doesn’t exactly jive with the company’s most recent analytics efforts, which have involved letting Web surfers opt-out of being tracked.

In any case, at least the Blogger addition will make reviewing statistics a tad more interesting.
