Newsfeed statistics
Every once in a while, I take a look at which newsreader software is used to access this site, and here are my numbers so far this month.
- Opera: 47.2%
- Unknown: 16.5%
- Firefox: 12.1%
- NetNewsWire: 6.5%
- Thunderbird: 4.7%
- FeedReader: 3%
- NewsGator: 2.5%
- Others: 5.6%
These statistics were collected using a specially patched version of AWStats that recognizes newsreaders, and disregards known referer spammers.
The “Others” category consist of recognized newsreaders that each account for less than 2% of the accesses to the newsfeeds, while the “Unknown” category consist of User-Agent strings that are not recognized by AWStats.
As with all statistics, it should be noted that the numbers listed here are valid only within this site: They are not general statistics.
What does your numbers look like?
