Chartbeat: the quick guide

Chartbeat is a real-time analytics service used by  more than 2,500 paying customers including Time.com, Gawker Media, Groupon, Threadless, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Times to make their sites more adaptive in real-time. To see an example of what chartbeat can do when integrated into a site take a look at Gawker’s new beta site where Editors use chartbeat to make real-time decisions about what stories to show where and even reflect that data back to their users. There’s a 30-day free trial so there’s really nothing stopping you seeing what chartbeat can do for you.
