Google Analytics Hourly Reports
In Google Analytics, the View By Hour function is turned off until there is a full day's data in there. When you first set the account up, you just get the 'view by default' dropdown which is greyed out.
Once the system contains a full day's data, the Google Analytics View By Hour option appears in a dropdown over the calendar - and voila! You can view your Google analytics hourly reports. The rest of the data is displayed ages before the hourly report option appears.
This information isn't in the help, nor is it noted anywhere I could find by Googling for it. This is bloody annoying. I'm noting it here in the hope that maybe someone else who can't work out where the damn thing is hidden can google and find out here.

It may possibly be part of the Secret Google Scheme To Take Over the World but it's so very useful that many webmasters are prepared to allow Google to see their data in return for use of it.
