Google Analytics goes real-time

For those of us who use Google Analytics to track our web site activity, we finally have real-time updating. In the past the data was often several hours out of date but Google are rolling out
real-time.
I've used it and can say it is excellent to get a sense of what pages are being accessed on your website in real-time. You do not need to change anything on your site.

Thanks for the heads up David.
I've added the tracking code to my site as I'm curious to see if anyone ever visits

I'm not sure if my ISP supplied website will work, guess I'll have to wait the 24 hours to see.

I can see your code on the page so there should be no reason why it should not track. I visited at 11:50 today

I applied for real time just after your post last night, but nothing seems to have happened yet

Did you get an email back?
You also need to be on the "New Version" -- top of screen in red; if you are not click it. The realtime stats link then appears in the Dashboard

Not so far; I guess they'll get around to it eventually.

Same here, so I'm not seeing any stats yet, or Davids' visit

Update: I'm now seeing data in the old analysis tools but no word from Google regarding the beta version yet.

Probably because it was over the weekend. I got activated within an hour but that was on Friday during the day.
Fingers crossed for Moday
