Stats Should Rotate, Not Reset

I’ve come to discover a really annoying trend among blog statistic services – they all seem to show graphs of vistors by day, week or month instead of showing the past 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. The difference is quite substantial, by viewing by the past 24 hours you always get a useful graph, by viewing by the day at the start of the day there’s just a blank graph.

Is it really that hard to offer a previous 24 hours option as well as a by day option?
