Yahoo to Take on Google Analytics

Having seen Google set up their Google Analytics product for free and then seen Microsoft release their version of a free web analytics tool (Microsoft adCenter Analytics beta), Yahoo! wants to do the same thing.

Instead of building the tool from scratch, Yahoo! recently purchased IndexTools, an enterprise-level web analytics service provider. Dennis Mortensen, COO of Index Tools announced on his blog that Yahoo! would set the service free, but no news regarding the release date of the free service.

Personally, I am excited about it, since I don't like the Google Analytics.
