It took me 48 hours to get my first stats and once I reviewed them they were not all that different to what I can get elsewhere. What concerns me most is how Google will use the stats to classify (read: downgrade/upgrade) sites that use adsense, and how it will impact PR's. I have removed the code from my sites.

I've got my stats now (and they're back dated to when I signed up on Monday), but I would have like things to be a little more, you know, instant. This <em>is</em> the information age we're living in. Almost everything is instantly available to us. It's just odd that Google, who are usually pioneering the technologies that truly <em>define</em> 'the information age', completely ballsed this one up. I love what Google do and are doing, but like I would be with anyone else I'm not going to be polite to them if they mess up.
