I use a free (but closed source) webcounter for my project..
It can do many nice things.

I don't know if they are using "whois" in order to
tell which country visitors are from? 

unique IPs would be nice.. So that I can tell which of
my friends/enemies who has been visiting.


How do you want to store the data: mysql, pstore, madelain ?
