The reborn Reinvigorate web application is a complete web statistics software package that lets you track multiple websites for free.

But if you’re tired to constantly login to check who’s currently on your website, they have a new solution for you. Today the company introduced a new feature: Live tracking with a desktop application called Snoop.

Snoop keeps an open asynchronous connection with the Reinvigorate server and keeps you up to date with everything currently happening on your websites.

The small desktop app supports custom event triggering such as a purchase, new sign up or comment creation and is available for both Mac OS X and Windows (XP & Vista).

Some drawbacks

While it’s an interesting approach to user tracking, the application lacks some basic features

• No option to remember account information. Must re-enter each time.
• No timestamp in the application itself.
• Snoop keeps a small icon in the menu bar that shows the icon of the event currently occurring, but when clicked, doesn’t focus the main window.
• Shows a unique session name of the visitor, but doesn’t give a summary of their current visit.
• Double-Clicking the referrer doesn’t open it up in the browser.

Summary

Even though it could be improved (and I’m sure it will be), Snoop is a great introduction to live desktop coverage of your websites.
