Looks very useful! is it a totally free app? I'm sure you can charge for a service like this.

Thanks, no its freemium business model. Looking forward to getting on the beta of pea shoot to test it out with it!

The interface looks very neat and cool! Might want to include some options to minimize certain screens (eg. Clicks section, Clicks from Country X section) so that there might be less visual clutter / information overload.

I think that's a good idea - I'd like to be able to make it so users can customize how their reports look, to prioritise what they want to show to their team / clients / management.

Looks really good. I loved it. One thing though, maybe you can try with a little bit more vertical margin between modules.

Hi Yongfook
peashoot looks very promising
but why do you need a redirecting clickcounting url for this service?
wouldnt it be possible to simple use url parameters for each campaign but keep the correct main url ?
you could track everything else directly on the page via javascript socialmedia buzz can be counted via services similar to tweetback and technorati and co - or?
is this then getting to close to the territory of google analytics ?

Andreas,
Good points. You are right, but the assumption you are making is that you are able to edit the target pages and paste in Javascript. If you think about the situation where you are working with clients, helping them promote their brand / product - they are unlikely to let you fiddle with their website code just for the sake of a campaign. Then think about working with hundreds of different campaigns that spread across various web properties - it's a lot of work to go and physically edit all of those pages.
Perhaps you are thinking of using Peashoot to promote your own stuff, where it's all on one website, where you own the servers and can freely edit etc. I think the more appropriate customer segment for Peashoot is marketing folk who are working with lots of different clients / brands / products. Physically editing target pages in that situation is impossible in most cases - I speak from experience on this too.
Also, one of the points of shrinking the url into something more compact is being able to post it on social services where you're limited with space. Or just having the benefit of not using ugly, long links that have a lot of parameters stuck on the end - if someone copy & pastes only half of the parameter string (for whatever reason) your tracking might not work. A short url that redirects TO the full url + tracking parameters would solve that.
On that note, integration with Google Analytics is something that we will be building in (possibly for the public launch, depending on demand) - and that is all based on passed url parameters. That's going to be an option though, we don't assume that everyone is using Google Analytics; or that people want to use Google analytics to view this kind of data - if they do, that's up to them and Peashoot will provide the tools to integrate.

Hey I signed up for the beta some time ago, any chance of still making the list?

Looks great Jon, so it's not going to be free correct? I recall you saying something like that. I love this concept and it seems very straight forward. Nicely done!

No, it won't be free. Free is not a business model that makes sense for small businesses looking to grow, IMO.

woah slow down! one app at a time :)
but yes, the launch schedule this year is for about 3 apps. All based on a premium model - whether that's online pay-as-you-go or iPhone apps (something I'm keen to start playing with).

This is brilliant - spreading to several peers and friends.
The base idea of what you're doing and compiling the reporting as you are is flirting with the 'break the mold' kind of status.
Are you open to ideas that would essentially use the basic 'sniffing' technology you're making but for another purpose ? I've had an idea for about a year that I just didn't think would be doable --- until I stumbled upon your work.
I'd love to be in the pre-launch group when available.

Have been reading on Peashoot and I must say this is something I might have build if you didn't! My gripes with bit.ly is that it does not have aggregate/campaign options so you don't actually get to see an overview statistics of X no. of urls. Peashoot is looking great especially when you seem to do well with the UI portion which I am a sucker for.
I think Google Analytics integration is a win-win. It allows the user to compare statistics for say an article/landing page to see how many percent of it comes from the social media campaigns. It might be good to either tag the Peashoot expanded URLs with campaign params or just make use of the API to grab data and integrate into Peashoot's reports.
I believe I have already subscribed to the notification list but perhaps I am too far down the list. Would love to be in the pre-launch group! Cheers.

actually Peashoot already integrates with Google Analytics - when building a custom campaign in Peashoot you have the option to append analytics params.

Congrats and somehow, I still cannot DM you on twitter, how silly.
Anyhoo...Looking good and I like the concept of a realtime graph to monitor the web activity - it's definitely useful when the proactive approach needs to take a reactive stance. Does it break down the tracking process to monitor peaks in traffic/chatter at the different times? And of course, you promised me a free account for rippl3, so I'm ready to trial Peashoot, with results and findings to share, of course (: All the best!

Congratulations! But i think u will have some problems with Google :-). They not accept integrations with "app$" :-P
yongfook

Not sure what you mean by that.
Perhaps you are referring to Google Search API not allowing commercial ($) applications to use it? Peashoot doesn't use the Google Search API.
thanks for your comment anyway.

If I go to tools, then click clear private history will people still be able to track the sites I go to?
