I was expecting something different with the "for developers" title. Perhaps replicating some of the features of MixPanel or KissMetrics, which can track all kinds of interesting things for developers -- which features users of your app use most, in which order they use those features, whether this week's signups are more engaged than last week's signups, etc.

I actually use event tracking a lot to track exactly that. For our clients, we not only know which features they're using most but by tracking validation errors in Google Analytics we also know what parts of the app is giving users trouble.

Best part is, with Google Analytics you can see what people did before and after they ran into trouble and correct for the user experience.

This. We recently started doing this and the data it's provided has been awesome.
That's the next topic I want to digg in playing with Google Analytics. When I have some results I'll post them.
This is awesome. Thanks!!
