What is iChatAnalyzer?
iChatAnalyzer is a MacOS X application for iChat users. What iChatAnalzyer does is analyze your chatting trends with all your buddies. It allows you to graphically see how often to talk to a certain buddy (or buddies). By doing so you can tell who isn't talking? who talks the most? how does Susie compare with Chloe? In addition iChatAnalyzer allows you to search and view past logs! Check out the download link below and give it a try, its free so what do you have to lose?

• [03.14.04] (0.3.7b) This version finally adds the promised customizable statistics, give them a go around. And as usual report back anything to me that goes haywire!
• [12.27.03] (0.3.3b) This version sees full usuability from the time you push the populate logs button. Also the legend has returned in the graphing, fully Panther-fied!
• [12.08.03] (0.3.2b) The searches are now fast!!! ...at a cost. The populate log function is now slow, about 1 minute or so typically to populate the logs. I have decided to fix this I will implement the logs into some sort of saved database so it only has to be done once, with small periodic updates.
  The latest version adds a "longest chats" analysis to the list of features. Currently in the works is a positivity and negativity analysis as well.
• [12.03.03] (0.3.1b) Many changes have been made:
  • Now the window is resizable, the graphs and tables redraw as the window is resized.
  • The Log Viewer now uses an outline view instead of a table to give it a more 'organized' look.
  • The Populate Log is a bit faster.
  • Best Friend Analysis shows all users in view.
  
  Also the Report Generation function has been removed for this version, until I can improve it and make it somewhat useful. Also I plan on making a legend for the graph in the next version as well as speeding up the Log Searcher.
• [11.17.03] I hove posted a version that at least works in Panther, version 0.2.2b.
• [11.02.03] Does not work on Panther yet, I thought I should mention this. I will be releasing a significant update during December (after school work is done ).
• [08.18.03] Added two more screen shots for those who wish to see most of the features before downloading the software.
• [08.16.03] A minor update was posted. It has been released as 0.2.1b. It had to deal with the info.plist.
• [08.16.03] The first good beta is released. Download it now! Tell me what you think by emailing me at cjfoste@asu.edu.
