After reading your excerpt in NNW I immediate checked my email to see if The Wolf had sent out an announcement to prompt this post. Sadly I found no such email.

Regardless, thank you for the minuscule glimpse into Mint.

I hope that Mint will be better designed than Awstats :)

Just from screenshots alone, it seems that Mint will be worlds ahead of Awstats design-wise.

Incidentally, does it track internal referers via the same minty magic?

j: AWstats tries to do so much, I’ve always felt like the important things get lost amidst a bunch of big numbers that seemed to only matter to folks making media kits (not to devalue marketing people or anything of the sort).

Oh and I love how you just had to show your metafilter and msnbc hit counts. Whore. ;0)

(Editor’s Note: Haha. I was waiting for someone to call me out on that!)

I feel like Awstats already does all this as is. It even gives you more features. I think I might just be missing something.

I think all the important numbers get lost amongst the unimportant numbers, whereas Shortstat, and soon Mint hopefully, show just the stuff you want to see. My 2p, at least.

Also, “The Wolf”?!
