How to use analytics for desktop applications?
analytics
Solution
I'm aware that this question is pretty old, but it's look like Google Analytics is finally available for general use via it's Measurement Protocol. So, that's the most 'official' way to use Google Analytics for desktop (or any other 'generic') apps now.
Problem
Google Analytics is nice, but it is for websites. If I have a console application how can I track its usage worldwide? Can i just download an transparent.gif file from the analytics service provider? What are your thoughts on such analytics?
