Woopra: Web Analytics Desktop Client For Linux
Woopra is a webmasters dream come true, as a stat junkie I couldn’t have asked for a better analytics and I can’t think how they can possibly make it any better than it already is. Woopra is one of a kind Web Analytics that easily puts Google Analytics to shame with real time, feature rich information with a desktop client. Most importantly, since the client is based on Java, it is platform independent and you can install it on your favorite Linux Distro.
Currently Woopra is on beta stage and users are invite only; however you can still register and they might invite you if they have more opening for beta -testers. The only requirements for installing woopra client is that you have at least java 1.6 installed; of course you still need to have an account for you to use it with your website. The beta-testers themselves have limitations of 10,000 hits per day, after that the client won’t log/update information.
There are too many features to mention, but to highlight some of the key features of Woopra:
1) Live World Map View:
2) Live Viewers Activity in Real-time:
3) Dashboard with Summary of Information:
4) Chatting live with individual website viewer (thanks to a viewer for sending me the screenshot):
Thanks to Woopra, one of the important things we have learned about our readers is that they use mostly windows (more than 70%) and use Firefox 3 browsers…
UPDATE: Just added a video of Woopra live in action during digg hit, recorded by the guys at geekbrief.tv, sorry for the autoplay video, not sure how to manual play it.
Also, if you like, you can digg this.

I never heard about this tool (a great one). I’m a website owner my self, and this is the tool I was looking for.Thank’s alot for the tip.
Well, Google Analytics does this already (what you learnt).
Doesn’t seem like it can import Analytics data, so I’ll only try using it on the next site of mine. Personally, the “Java so it’s cross-platform” thing doesn’t buy me anymore - Flash is cross-platform too, Adobe AIR is cross-platform, along with GTK+ and QT (oh and wxWidgets).
Oh… real-time things. OK, giving it a try :)
Vadim, they usually don’t accept beta-testers right away. Since it’s still beta, you might have to wait few days/weeks.
It’s really awesome and pictures don’t do justice to what it can do and it’s very addictive.
Also the linux installation was a bit buggy for me compare to the windows installation, just wanted to point that out. I don’t use Google analytics because it is not real-time. :)
Just added a video, older version of woopra but should have the same features.
I would say its early to compare it to Google Analytics, let it come out of the beta.
Woopra is def cool, but is it just me or is Woopra too slow on Ubuntu?
Rami Woopra has some known issues with Ubuntu, AFAIK they are still working on it.
Wow! its a nice tool. I will try this soon.
Indeed, we need more beta testers using ubuntu and other less popular OS in order to make it work across all systems.
Thanks for the great review of Woopra. Remember, Woopra is currently in beta and open to beta testers only, with the responsibilities that involves. We have almost 40,000 beta testers reporting on issues in the Woopra Forums and helping us out around the world on all kinds of systems. It’s so exciting.
Yes, it is real time stats and has a desktop application (software) that is pretty darn cool. :D You can also track your stats from the Woopra Member web page and from within your WordPress blog with the Woopra WordPress Plugin. Woopra works on all types of websites, forums, and blogs.
If you are interested, sign up. As resources become available, batch approvals will be issued. Thanks for the feedback and for spreading the word.
Hi Lorelle, thanks for the comment. I am a fan of your blog. :)
Well, I signed up, I have a site that’s quite ready to “go big”, so it would be interesting to see how does Woopra deal with that.
That said, I hear people talking when I’m on this page. Seems they repeat the same thing over and over though :-/
Vadim, I updated the post with a video of Woopra in action, which is unfortunately on auto play, I am not sure how to set it to manual play.
