Me Make Pretty Web Stats Animated Stuff One Day, A.K.A. Why doesn't Invigorate do AJAX web stuff anymore?!
So, I'm trying to figure out a cool visual way to display real-time accesses to our assorted websites on a big flatscreen TV in our elevator bay. Ideally it would be able to feed from Google Analytics, but a different solution would be okay too.
It should be pretty to look at and be in the format of a 'lifestream' type thing to track when we get activity on our sites. I would show google analytics charts but they are not flashy enough, also we have people coming in to the office from all over and i'd rather not give them a full glimpse into our traffic trends.
I've seen VisitorVille but its a little cheesy for this use.
Does anyone make a product like this?

There's a backdoor API for analytics using python, with that and PIL or whatever you can make all the pretty pictures you want.

I am "answering" here with that bad news though: there was no product close to doing this last year, and I have not seen anything since, either.
