Google Streamlines Analytics Log-In Process (Kinda, Sorta, Not Really)
For a long time, I have been befuddled as to why I must log-in to Google Analytics when I'm already logged into Gmail in the same browser.
Now, Google is claiming they have streamlined the process. If you're signed into your Google account, all you have to do when you arrive at the Analytics page is click on a bright blue button that says "Access Analytics."
This is not truly an improved, streamline process as there is still a page and an action you have to take before accessing your Analytics.
Disagree? Leave me a comment and tell me how it is!

I disagree - I didn't see any improvement at all, since I was using this URL to direct access GA without any extra pages for ages:
google.com/analytics/home

Shimon, personally I get a security warning when I access that link (both in FF and IE). I can continue on, but it still requires a click on an extra page.

Really? I think it is a lot better than having to log in again every time like you had to before.
