YSM has been released but it’s only available for their business account holders. While some say it’s a direct competitor to Google Analytics it is different in one major way - real-time analysis. More expensive web analytics platform offer real-time reporting for a hefty fee. Now you can have it for nothing! The last major addition these free analytics providers need is data warehousing and integrated business intelligence tools.
Yahoo! may launch their analytics differently than Google. Instead of having everyone join for free they might have some conditions that must be met. Conditions like a certain level of adspend on their PPC network or other requirements.
This is an exciting anouncement for web analysts and business owners alike.
