Some Site Stats

I realize this is a very small blog, but I thought it would be interesting to post some statistics of this blog.
January 2007 saw 16,623 unique vistors, 23,677 visits, 69,285 pages, 355,241 hits, and 40.97 GB of bandwidth.
February 2007* saw 15,948 unique vistors, 23,054 visits, 66,428 pages, 324,361 hits and 40.54 GB of bandwidth.
For the year so far Microsoft Internet Explorer tops the browser list at 437,202 hits (64.3%), Firefox comes in at a distant second with 185,116 hits (27.2%) , Safari places third with 20,615 hits (3%), and Opera comes in fourth with 14,854 hits (2.1%).
As far as the battle of the Operating Systems, Apple Macs didn’t quite make it to the top spot, however they did come in second. Macintosh brought 30,873 hits or 4.5% and Microsoft Windows managed to place first with 624,440 hits or 91.8%. <gasp> And who said, Microsoft’s share was slipping?


Static numbers are different from trends - check out what the numbers were 3 years ago, and compare them to now.
By the way - you’ve got traffic, buster. Major props.
Do you think Apple three years ago had 3% of the market perhaps?
Seems to me that it doesn’t make a lot of difference. Apparently Mac still stinks. 
That is for users that went to your site. While I am not denying that Windows is the most popular and Linux comes in a disappointing third in the desktop market, if you would also take servers into consideration, *nix based operating systems would soar to much higher percentages. Now quoting ,” Linux owns a high percentage of usage (around 50%), taking into account statistics about web servers, in which Apache (used in Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD) is the leading web server software. Netcraft reported in September 2006 that eight of the ten most reliable internet hosting companies run Linux on their web servers.” For the record Microsoft has the most hits followed by Linux; the dark horse candidate, Sun OS; Mac; and OS/2 comes in last. The reason for the poor turnout for the Maccies is probably because the majority of my freinds use Windows, but my real friends use Linux.
heh… i wasn’t taking servers into consideration though you see.
We already discussed that the other week.
Ok, Ok, but even on the desktop it is more stable. Popularity isn’t the issue. The issue is stability, ease of use, power, and flexibility.
Also, please note that Linux is 33% in your poll.
