I've been using it for about a month or so now. It has some nice
features (integration with MSN means that we get some aggregate
demographic data about visitors which is nice) and the system looks
slick, but it's still very short on segmentation, integration with Excel
is poor and it can be quite slow at times. I am sure it will improve,
it's only a BETA and Microsoft have a "get it out there" policy so we
can try it and offer suggestions. Here are my wishes for MG.



I'd like to see a more robust system;



1) Segmentation is key. I want the ability to segment on the fly
based on behavior (people who did "x" pages and spent "x time"). Based
on demographics (Look at only the people from Stockholm or New York). I
also want to be able to segment retrospectively (IE from past data) and
add external data into the mix.

2) Excel Integration. I want to be able to stream numbers into
Excel directly (from Adsense and Gatineau ideally). I don't want to
download Excel versions of the reports, I want to be able to use a "HBX
report builder" like function or WebTrends Smartreport which is
different.

3) KPI integration. I want to be able to develop ratios they
haven't thought of in the standard reports and have an easy way to get
MG to report it.

4) Individual tracking. I want to see how an individual (either
authenticated or not) has traversed my site and be able to set-up
segments based on actions individuals have taken.



I'm sure as I use it more I'll get a better idea of what else I'd like
to see.

Folks
I got the invite and it's up and running on my blog! however i dont run
a
CPC program. i just paid $5 for the Adcenter account.
and the reason you need to pay $5 is coz " MS Gatineau" is linked to
their
Adcenter.

Does Anybody using it find it slow ? coz i do
latency is loading report, and logs me off every now and then! citing
security reason! can be frustrating sometimes

P.S: For Wordpress Users here's a plugin by joost de valk you can opt
