Video Interview with Founders of Woopra, Real-Time Web Analytics Tool

Although we've taken many an opportunity to speak to c-level execs, marketing VPs and industry analysts at all the conferences we've attended, rarely have we actually sat down and interviewed those typically-endearing, developer "geeks," that often attend these events, about the newest and coolest applications they've been developing, on yes, your servers :)

However, while at LT PACT 2008 we were introduced to the co-founders of Woopra, Elie Khoury and Jad Younan, by Layered Tech's marketing guru, John Pozadzides (who also happens to be the ever-enthusiastic CEO of Woopra) and after hearing an in-depth spiel about their intriguing application (as well as their tumultuous journey to get to the US from Lebanon!) we felt compelled to share their story with you.

Woopra is a real-time web analytics tool with a unique socialization aspect woven into it (by which I mean, full-out two-way chat functionality with ANY random visitor on your website), and has been garnering a reputation as one of the hottest new "blogger-must-have" applications today. However, that's not to say that "serious" businesses can't benefit from this as well, especially with some of the new updates Elie and Jad are planning in the next few months.

In an exclusive WHIRtv interview, Elie and Jad talk about their beginnings, the challenges along their journey and their future goals with what is easily one of the most fascinating, dare I say, revolutionary, applications on the web today.
