I believe this is a great tool to see and analyze what kind of users are visiting our websites and what's their behavior when using our services. I installed weeks ago on some blogs (WordPress) and other websites and it's working like a charm.

You will find the complete instructions as long with the explanation on how it works on Tom Anthony's post: Monitor Which Social Networks Your Visitors are Logged Into With Google Analytics

For WordPress users you can use the following plugin:
http://wordpress.org...user-detection/

Instructions:
http://adaptpartners...user-detection/

Non-WordPress users:

Follow the installation instructions on Tom's post and once you have set up the JS code on your site add the next 4 advanced segments to your Analytics profile:

• Google/Gmail
  
• Google+
  
• Twitter
  
• Facebook

I hope you find this as useful as I did

Seriously loving this, thank you! Just tried it out and the data is very useful for showing clients what social networks their visitors are using.

Just wish it included Youtube and LinkedIn breakouts. Anyone know if this is possible? If it is, I'm happy to pay for someone to build it.

Hi filipmatous, the key here is to find a resource that is only available when you are logged in on certain website, and with some help of CSS and JS you can determine if an user is online or not depending on the server response. If you find a way to do this with other website, please share so we can build something more complete and better

Hi Xyborg, thanks for the tip. Actually think I may have figured out how to do it for LinkedIn, which is useful for B2B type clients. I'll try to return in a few days after I collect some data.
