New Google Analytics Flow Visualization

It's great to see Google constantly adding new stronger features into GA. Omniture are going to have to do some incredible innovation or acquisitions to keep selling their astonishingly expensive packages.

I have always thought that it would be great to add some animation into flow analysis. It's inherently a dynamic concept yet it's always analysed statically.

I'd love to see some dots representing users moving through these lines and the dots could also illustrate how much time people spend on the various pages. Coloured dots would be a beautiful way to visualise different segments.

Great that GA recognizes importance of visual representation of flows. Although for sites with loads of dynamic content where URLs include one or more ids you would see picture segmented by content. Unless you instrument your site by features. Project we work on allows for quickly finding patterns of URLs that correspond to features while visually showing the top flows: http://infunl.com/screen/0

Looks great, but I really want this as a standalone product so not to share my traffic stats with the 3rd party.

Where? I can't see it.

I'm new to GA. I started using it last week in my new blog.

I saw this feature, and found it amazing. It's really good to make A/B tests, and to see the effectiveness of your about page or home page. As my users grow, I think I'll use it more and more.

This would be a lot more useful if you were able to define a sequential path rather than "of the users who went to page x, n also visited page y".

Cool, they're not using Flash for this one. One step at a time I guess.

I'm just not in love with google's new UI.
