Description
Right now, we use the global WordPress?.com credentials to get stats, but each self hosted blog might use a different account for stats

I'm not sure if this is the right ticket, but I think another layer of authentication+blog needs to be added:
- Layer 1: WordPress?.com account / credentials (to support checking stats on multiple self-hosted blogs that use Jetpack Stats)
- Layer 2: Blog associated to the WordPress?.com account (for mulitsite blogs with their own stats)
For example, I have a multisite installation with two blogs, both use WP.com stats, but I can only see the stats from the primary blog:
- Blog 1: reams.me (primary)
- Blog 2: something.reams.me
There is no way for me to tell the 'Stats' tab on something.reams.me that I want to view the Jetpack /WP.com stats for that blog (it shows me reams.me).

Incorporated in the web-based stats.
Closing.

I would like to comment on this new feature: the 'stats' tab could be opened to other Analytics plugins (wassup, wp slimstat, statpress) if their developers are willing to implement the data protocol/API/XMLRPC required by this app to fetch the information. A quick guide on how to format the data would definitely help. This would enable users to keep track of their stats, no matter what tracking software they use. One day, leveraging Google Analytics API, someone could even write a connector for that service. Just imagine the possibilities this new feature would open!
