I guess the best way to describe Woopra is that this is your site stats app in porno. The real time tracking system and the GUI is kick ass - but not a lot of Macintosh users can make it work because it requires the Java Virtual Machine 1.6 to run.

Own a Mac, Save the Environment?

Buy a Mac, Give hope to the flowers!
The opposite of this statement goes: Upgrade to Windows Vista, contribute to e-waste. With the launch of Windows Vista, consumers and enterprises will be forced to upgrade their systems. Multiply this by all the casual Windows users and enterprises that use Windows and you get a load of […]

I woke up today with an SMS from an unknown number - probably someone I’ve dealt with in PR before. She (I assume its a girl because she gave a lady name) knew I was a Mac user and wanted to interview me about Windows Vista - my thoughts, sentiments and basically a comparison with […]
