Also offers desktop client to monitor your web site statistics. The statistics are real time and you can monitor multiple sites from single account.

FormSpring: Yet another contact form service for blogs and web sites. I particularly liked the paypal integration option. You can completely customize your forms, to blend it completely with your blog. Report generation, data collection and automated intimation are some of the features of this service.

Plurk: Recently, a new micro-blogging and networking service is introduced which is gaining rapid popularity. Like twitter, it has public timeline, and plurking is supported from various platforms like IM,mobile and web. But it's not a clone of twitter and has some advanced features. Worth checking it.
