I sometimes wonder about the value of real-time analytics. I use Google Analytics real-time, and it can be extremely addictive watching visitors arriving, navigating, hoping you'll get a conversion, looking at how they found you.
But does it really add anything over none-real time analytics? Much healthier to check your reports once a week or so I would think.
I often think its just another distraction (like checking email or HN) that can moves focus from what I really should be doing.
Though I'd love to hear what uses people have found for real time analytics...
