It’s been a little over 2 years since Google acquired the Web Analytics system, Urchin. While sporadic updates have been made to the system, we have yet to see a complete visual overhaul until now.

With new design features, customized reports, email reporting, and a very detail dashboard approach, the new Analytics Beta is quite the looker. The interface is much more customizable; the system reacts faster; and all of the new bells will certainly make the analysis of data much more streamlined. For more information on the new Google Analytics, visit their tour.
