Metrics Showdown: Mixpanel v. KISSmetrics v. Google Analytics « art/van/kilmer NOTE: This post describes Mixpanel, KISSmetrics, and Google Analytics as I used them in Spring and Summer 2010. At least Mixpanel has changed substantially since then. I’m planning to do an updated post. If you’re building a new web app, you’d rather focus on the app instead of building complex data collection tools. I evaluated Mixpanel, KISSmetrics, and Google Analytics with an early prototype of Slipstream, a new web-based Twitter client. What are you trying to learn? Collecting too much data is as bad as not collecting enough because you won’t be able to act on it all. What am I trying to learn? The answer affects which tool you choose more than anything else. Once you know what you want to learn, it’s time to dive into the tools to see what will bring you closer to the answers. Mixpanel pros & cons Mixpanel is ideal for tracking arbitrary events in real-time. mpmetrics.track("Added a favorite"); You can also add arbitrary properties to events.

M-Pesa M-Pesa (M for mobile, pesa is Swahili for money) is a mobile-phone based money transfer and microfinancing service for Safaricom and Vodacom, the largest mobile network operators in Kenya and Tanzania.[1] Currently the most developed mobile payment system in the world, M-Pesa allows users with a national ID card or passport to deposit, withdraw, and transfer money easily with a mobile device.[2] History[edit] The initial work of developing the product was given to a product and technology development company[9] known as Sagentia. Concept[edit] The initial concept of M-Pesa was to create a service which allowed microfinance borrowers to conveniently receive and repay loans using the network of Safaricom airtime resellers.[10] This would enable microfinance institutions (MFIs) to offer more competitive loan rates to their users, as costs are lower than when dealing in cash. M-Pesa is also criticized for stopping the government from getting seigniorage revenues.[13] Services[edit] Kenya[edit]
