new sitemeter sux

the new sitemeter rolled out today and my first impression is: i hate it.

the annoying thing is that the old sitemeter let you easily display a list of the recent referring sites, even with a free account. now referral info is buried, you have to find it in individual hit reports. if you want a list of referring sites, you need to pay for the premium account.

i'm not really trying to increase my hit numbers with this blog. but i never tire of looking at the referring page info, seeing all the weird google searches that bring people here. i guess i'll be using at statcounter more often.

UPDATE: i wasn't the only one complaining about new sitemeter. it has now switched back to the old version and the company has issued an apology. i can see my referrals again. yay!
