WassUp is a new Wordpress plugin to track your visitors in real time. It has a very readable and fancy admin console to keep tracks of your blog's users visits. It has a "current visitors online" view and a more detailed "visitors details" view where you can know almost everything your users are doing on your blog, it's very useful for SEO or statistics maniacs. Now it comes with a new "Spy" view in Ajax like the Digg Spy. The aim of WassUp is the knowledge of what your visitors do when they surf your blog, it is not intended to show grouped statistics for periods like visitors per day, pageviews per months and so on (there are many others tools to better gain that, like Google Analytics). With WassUp you'll get a cronology of your blog's visits with a lot of details for each single user session.

WassUp works with two anti-spam function to detect and skip (if you want) referers spammers and akismet spammers.

For people with database space problem, WassUp has some options to manage his database table, you can empty it or delete old records to prevent reaching the size limit.
