Has anyone else been invited to the Limited Beta testing of the new Google Analytics Event Tracking capability?

This has new Features that are right up Dolphins street. this is the email i got today:

============

Greetings from Google Analytics,

We are happy to let you know that the Event Tracking feature is now available in all profiles for the following Google Analytics Account ID: *****. Please note that you are receiving this email update because you are an 'Admin' or designated contact for the account listed above.

When you log in to these profiles, you will see a new set of reports called "Event Tracking" under the Content section. As posted on our blog, this is a limited release currently available only to select profiles.

Event Tracking allows you to track interactions with Web 2.0 style content such as Flash, AJAX, Silverlight, social networking apps, etc. We recently made tracking Adobe Flash even easier with the release of a new Flash Tracking client library. It allows for much simpler tracking of Flash content with drag and drop functionality and an open source framework.

To use Event Tracking, you will need to upgrade your site to use the new ga.js javascript. Detailed instructions on how to set up Event Tracking on your site are available on our CodeSite.

To find your ga.js code snippet, edit the settings for your profile and click the "Check Status" link on the upper right corner of the page. You can now track interactions beyond just pageviews.

Sincerely,

The Google Analytics Team

=====================

I have added this to my Dolphin site and was wondering if any others where invited to use it? i have had my Gmail account since the start of Gmail back in April 2004 and have been invited to beta test a number of things by Google this is the latest one today and as its perfect for Dolphin, i would like to hear from others to see what they think.

Should point out that what they mean by "events" is user-object events, like mouseovers and such, not social events like dolphin group members attending a concert. This one snippet gives a hint..

With ga.js, you would commonly apply Event Tracking to:
