EgoCurrent Version: 2.1.4 (iOS 4.0 Tested)

Ego gives you one central—and lovely—location to check web statistics that matter to you. With support for Ember, Feedburner, Google Analytics, Mint, Squarespace, Tumblr, Twitter and Vimeo, you can quickly view the number of visits to your website (including daily, hourly and monthly numbers), feed subscription totals and changes, how many people are following you on Twitter and more.

No more visiting a bunch of websites, logging in and out, all that nonsense. Ego supports as many widgets of each type as you want, so you can check all your stuff in one go.

Ego Review

Get your Web and blog stats in one centralized location

Web site managers or bloggers looking for a centralized way to keep tabs on basic Web stats should check out Ego from Garrett Murray. This $2 statistics aggregator supports Twitter and Google Analytics, hosting services Feedburner and Squarespace, and the self-hosted statistics package Mint.


Ego Trip: Ego uses color coding to let you know at a glance what Web stat you’re tracking—orange means Web traffic, while blue shows Twitter numbers.

After you install Ego, you go through some very simple steps to set up all the sites you want to monitor. When you’re finished, the main screen will display those sites in a color-coded list. For web stats (orange), just tap on the colored bar to cycle among daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly page views and visits. Feedburner stats (red) will show your subscription count while Twitter stats (blue, of course) will display your last tweet, follower count, and tweet count.

What I like most about Ego is what it does not do—rather than trying to display lots of complex Web stats on a small screen, Ego provides just the essential numbers that most site administrators want to know day to day. So when I’m on a phone call or in a meeting with a client, having this data at my fingertips makes me look like a real genius. (Oops, my secret is out!)

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once said “Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” While I would like to see the developers add support for other services (Facebook and LinkedIn, for example), Ego’s user interface is simple and elegant, and I can’t think of anything I would remove.

Ego is compatible with any iPhone and iPod touch running the iPhone 2.2.1 software update.
