Last time I had looked, several months ago, Internet Explorer still made up the vast majority of the browsers used by Daily Kos readers (80-90 percent). That's
changing rapidly.
Today, IE makes up 67 percent of dKos reader browsers. A solid number, but one trending down and doing so rapidly. Anytime I see Microsoft failing at something it makes my day. So three cheers to Firefox and Safari!
Oh, and speaking of Microsoft, 22 percent of Daily Kos readers use a non-Windows operating system (18 percent Macintosh, 4 percent Linux/Unix).
The numbers look different at conservative sites. At Instapundit, for example, 75 percent of visitors use IE. And only 6 percent of visitors use a non-Windows operating system (Mac at 4 percent, Linux/Unix at 2 percent).
There is a clear liberal/conservative divide in technology usage. You can find the data at any weblog with a public sitemeter, and the stats seem to hold true across the board. Liberals are more likely to use non-Microsoft products and conservatives.
Draw your own conclusions.
(Incidentally, those stats will change throughout the day, so the numbers you see after clicking the links may not be the numbers I recorded when I posted this piece.)
