I wonder how the introduction of Google Analytics' Real-Time beta has affected their business. While it doesn't have all of the social features that Chartbeat does, it does cover a lot of their ground.
Hey, I'm the CEO of chartbeat. When Google Analytics launched their real time we saw a slight jump in churn that month and then things settled down to normal levels again the next month, so not much effect at all thus far. This might have something to do with it: http://chartbeat.com/infographics/measure-different
How do I get it? Is there a link inside GA?
Go to Home on the top tab, and you should see real time options on the left hand menu
Looks nice and there's a difference in concurrent visitors of 50% compared to Chartbeat, anyone knows why??
Google only receives pings on the page load so it then assumes that each visitor is there for five minutes to get its measurement of concurrents. Chartbeat is being pinged every few seconds so we can tell if someone is really there or not. The infographic I linked to above explains it better.
