Net Usage Index for News: visualizing news sites web-traffic

29th September 2008

The company Akamai has released the application called Net Usage Index for News, providing an opportunity for monitoring and visualizing web-traffic of news sites in real time.
By setting this compact Â«widgetÂ», anyone will be able to observe the excitement caused by this or that news. For presentation of data a few very curious modes are used. For example, one of these modes displays regions with the busiest web-traffic on a geographical map of the world. Another useful visualization tool is a graph News Index, which allows visualizing the entire statistics of site visiting for the selected period of time. Thus, web-analytics will be able to confirm their assumptions about that the minimum user activity occurs between 11 pm and 8 am.
The program can be downloaded for free from the site of the manufacturer.
