Hmm.. a sample size of one site with 14000 visits


Agreed that it doesn't speak for the whole world, but it's interesting no?


Not really. All it says is that depending on your niche, you get a different mixture of browsers - and a single sample doesn't even say that well; I would rather see a comparison sites in a lot of different niches to make that point.


It looks like the software is designed to inflate follower counts by recommending people that auto follow, and to schedule automated tweets. It is not surprising that spammy marketers use good browsers.


For what it's worth, in the past 4 months I've got 46% IE visits (out of 5.5M). http://i.imgur.com/9NqYq.png If I look since March 2007, then I get 54% IE visits (out of 39M). http://i.imgur.com/gV4BY.png

This is for http://www.quantcast.com/scratch.mit.edu


I would be worried about missing the mainstream user if my numbers were like that but I didn't take time to look at his site.
