Widget watch: ShortStat

While taking a short break from playing with iTunes 4.9 this afternoon, I discovered ShortStat, a widget that tracks and reports on your web site's traffic. This one will take a little more setup than a basic download and click--you have to install a bit on your webserver--but it still looks pretty useful.

To get started, you'll need: Shaun Inman's ShortStat - The ShortStat package that goes on your web server; Gateway File - The file that serves as the glue between ShortStat and the widget and the widget itself. Like I said, this install takes a bit of know-how.

Once you're up and running, you can view total hits, unique visitors, recent referrers with time and full path and more.
