Google Webmaster Tools [January Update]

Google Webmaster Tools gets an UI and minor functionality upgrade, a nice touch in series of interface improvements which started appearing last year.

Probably the most exciting two new functions are:

1) Download the chart data
2)  Show n Rows

And now a real bonus!

My requests have been heard [1] and the sorting of search queries by position now works as it should and not the way it used to.

Thank you Google!

PS: One small bug. When you click on “Author Stats” in the Labs section it wipes out most of the other options from the main menu.
