One thing I'll say about the folks at Google - they NEVER sit still! Today I attended a session on how to use G-Analytics for site analysis. I've been using G-Analytics for some time now to analyze the http://istudy.psu.edu site, and now am analyzing the http://gaming.psu.edu site as well.
It appears that quite recently Google added some customization features that allow you to drill down in your data better, and produce custom reports. I'm excited about both. Currently I look at a site's data, run it through my own head, transfer data from the web page to another document, write up my findings, etc.
That's OK the first several times through - you need to understand the process. After that, I find it to be a necessary evil. I just want the report, so I can make decisions based on the data it contains. I'm hoping I can manipulate the custom reports feature to give me just want I want.
