MapSurface, kinda cool

Over the past few months I have been trying out different JavaScript based applications to monitor site traffic. The three I have looked at so far are Measuremap (recently purchased by Google), Google Analytics, and MapSurface. I have written a bit about Analytics, I have haven’t had much to say about Measuremap yet (I like it but it is only for blogs really), but MapSurface is just cool.
Andy Budd has a great review on his site if you are interested in knowing more. If you want to try it out just hit ctrl-x on Windows or alt/option-x on OS X after you load this page. You will then see how low the traffic is on this site but also how cool this application is as well.
It only measures the page you are looking at, not all the pages on the site combined and all you XML readers don’t get counted either.
