I just installed an update to Flip4Mac and after the installation Little Snitch pops up with an alert b/c my machine is trying to connect to www.google-analytics.com. Why would Flip4Mac try to contact google-analytics? Is that just a coincidence?

You must have a web browser open.

That's just one of hundreds of web sites used to track everything you do on the web in order to violate your online privacy to such an extent that a full prostate exam would feel less invasive.
