Default New Google Analytics interface

Maybe I'm just getting old but I don't like what i see when I log into Google Analytics this morning!

I'm just not finding the new interface intuitive, and I don't like the long narrow default trend graph.

I think it will take a bit of getting used to in the GUI. They do have a nice feature where you can now see where in Ireland your traffic comes from (granted people need real geo info IP's) and then you can save it to the front page, so I guess you can easily customise things if you so wish. I.E. the top number of things you look at on Analytics

Yes there are some improved features I agree. I just can't zip around it like I used to

Too true. It took me 5 mins to find out where I could edit the date ranges. (hint: top right corner )

That's laughable

It will work quite well for the US, but anyone who claims that is accurate for Ireland is fooling themselves

I like the new one. I think it's easier to find what you are looking for. You can roll back to the old one if you like it. I'd say it's just going to take a bit of time to get used to.

The old interface will only be available for about another month, so we'll have to get used to the new one whether we like it or not it seems
