When I first started blogging back in 2004 (when you had to walk uphill both ways to school in the snow^), I resisted installing site stats because I just knew I would get totally obsessed with them and waste too much time. So now here I am doing it for credit (and after I've succumbed to their lure in other departments of my online life). C'est la vie.
Almost three-quarters of visitors to this blog used Firefox (74.72%), while 25.58% used Internet Explorer. The connection speed results seemed surprising at first glance: a whopping 44.19% for dialup (woo hoo!), then 23.26% for T1 connections, then 18.60% for cable, 11.63% for DSL, and 2.33% (one whole visit) for "unknown" (though given how much else Google Analytics can determine, one wonders how something could possibly be unknown).
The initally surprising results for dialup, however, are quickly explained by the fact that I haven't gotten my new DSL to work yet (mostly because of lack of time to devote to the problem), so I am still on dialup except when using the network at Rutgers while on campus. The T1 stat suggests someone is looking at this blog at work (though that isn't me, I figure that Flickring on my lunch hour is way too much as it is).
For comparison (well, ok, just because I wanted to, but it offers a comparison), I also installed Google Analytics on my birding blog, and the top speed there is cable (36.36%), with DSL second (27.97%). IE is the big fave of folks looking at the bird blog (53.15%), with Firefox (28.67%), and Safari (18.18%) runners-up. Most of that blog's vistors find it through search engines, while most visitors to this blog use the russl wiki.
