Dashalytics gets you those stats, stat

DashalyticsEverybody’s nuts about “widgets” on the iPhone, but what about Apple’s good old Dashboard? These are real widgets; not just that Web 2.0 malarkey. Over at Engadget, Niall Kennedy has shared a list of his top ten widgets for Dashboard. While it includes some old favorites, like iStat Pro, Niall’s post also mentioned a few that I hadn’t heard of, at least one of which seems likely to win a permanent place on my Dashboard.

Some of the widgets on the list are for general use, like sports schedules and package delivery, but many of them are targeted towards those who run their own website: they track AdSense revenues, look up HTML entities and PHP functions, et cetera. Dashalytics is the one that caught my eye: it’ll pull down statistics from Google Analytics, which lets you track traffic on your web sites. I’m a bit of a statistics junky, and having that information available in the Dashboard may let me toss one more tab from my permanently-open Safari window. Hopefully I won’t find myself hitting F12 every five minutes.

What is the log size provided by Dashalytics, I have been using GoStats.com
they provide a log size of 1000 visitors. Would be happy to use a tool with a bigger log size.
