Google keeping bloggers in business

In an attempt to cement its position as the most blogged about company, ever, Google have release publicly two new services in as many days.  You can hear the keyboards tapping away from here.

The first is the excellent Writely online word processing.  I’ve been lucky enough to be part of the closed beta for some time but haven’t really bothered writing about it, lets face it, there are a plethora of reviews out there already.  Suffice to say its light years ahead of similar services such as AJAX Write.  Its collaborative, stable, very usable and oh so Web 2.0.

The other service launched publicly is Google Analytics which is a very comprehensive website visitor statistics package.  It offers so many features at such a high level its definately worth a look.  If you run a website, it will certainly help you figure out who’s visiting, where they are coming from and what they are reading.  You also have the option to set goals (and track your progress against them) as well as linking your stats to your adwords account.  Most certainly worth a look.
