Web site managers or bloggers looking for a centralized way to keep tabs on basic Web stats should check out Ego from Garrett Murray. This $2 statistics aggregator supports Twitter and http://www.google.com/analytics" target="_blank">Google Analytics, hosting services Feedburner and Squarespace, and the self-hosted statistics package Mint.
(Image Caption: Ego Trip: Ego uses color coding to let you know at a glance what Web stat you're tracking--orange means Web traffic, while blue shows Twitter numbers.)
After you install Ego, you go through some very simple steps to set up all the sites you want to monitor. When you're finished, the main screen will display those sites in a color-coded list. For web stats (orange), just tap on the colored bar to cycle among daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly page views and visits. Feedburner stats (red) will show your subscription count while Twitter stats (blue, of course) will display your last tweet, follower count, and tweet count.
What I like most about Ego is what it does not do--rather than trying to display lots of complex Web stats on a small screen, Ego provides just the essential numbers that most site administrators want to know day to day. So when I'm on a phone call or in a meeting with a client, having this data at my fingertips makes me look like a real genius. (Oops, my secret is out!)
