Software Tipp: Piwik – the open source web analytics software
I’m not a fan of submitting usage information of my web pages to other sites like Google Analytics or any other service providers. I like to keep the data under my control. Some moth ago I found a tool which seems to have the potential to be a good replacement for Google Analytics. It is an easy to install php web application based on a MySQL database. Now I run Piwik for some moths and it’s great. Piwik is licensed under the terms of the GPL. The current version is 0.2.28. I admit Piwik is in development state and not completely stable in all points but it is really good for basic website statistics.
I stopped all other tools which were used for statistic purposes. Now all usage information remain on my servers.

Happy new year!
There is also a desktop application for piwik: http://www.desktop-web-analytics.com/
It uses adobe air and runs on Mac, Linux and Windows.
I find it very usefull.
