Today I was Slashdotted. Not with a full power, but I got a taste of what can happen. The nice thing is that I made a statistics of browser usage for people who came today from slashdot.
- Firefox 1.0.4 – 54%
- Firefox 1.0 – 9%
- Internet Explorer 6.0 – 5%
- Firefox 1.0.3 – 3%
- Konqueror 3.4 – 3%
- Safari 412 – 3% (I don’t know why such version – possibly a bug in WP ShortStat)
- Mozilla 1.7.5 – 2%
- Firefox 1.0.2 – 2%
- Opera 8.01 – 2%
- Mozilla 1.7.8 – 2%
Other browser versions made less than 2%. Stats were made for 10523 hits, ~6365 users.
Well, of cource Slashdot is not an avarage site, but they’re very interesting group. Only 70% with english browsers, 60% on Windows (so, not as linux geeks as one may think), tech-users who’re interested in new technologies. And they made a very clear choice. Firefox – 70%, Mozilla – 7%, IE – 5%, Safari – 4%, Konqueror – 3%, Opera – 3% – can you find a leader? 🙂

Gandalf, how about Thunderbird statistics?? It’s great that Firefox is getting a bigger piece of the “market cake” every day but what with Thunderbird? Are there any _reliably_ mail user agent web surveys (that include Tb)?
Could you give us a link to Slashdot article/news which refers to your blog?
It wasn’t an article, the link to e-gandalf.net was in one of the comments.
