100,000 visitors this year (so far)

I just did a refresh on our web stats and found that we have 100,001 unique visitors this year! So I thought I'd take a minute to let you know about the demographics.

Just who are these people? Well, they're obviously tech minded. According to Wikipedia, Internet Explorer has 59% of the browser market, with Firefox a distant second at 28%, and Safari at only 4.5%. According to our stats, 38.3% of you use Firefox, 18.6% of you use IE and 14.8% use Safari.

As far as referrers go, NIN.com is (duh) number one. What is a little surprising though is that number two is the Polish site Wykop, sending nearly 5000 people our way. I guess NIN in Poland is lot bigger than we thought.

The top ten countries visiting the site are: USA, Canada, Great Britain, Poland, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, Mexico & Austria.

Interesting to watch the traffic too - spike on release day, spike when front paged on NIN.com, and several other minor spikes from coverage in various web sites.

Well, no real message here - just thought you might find these figures interesting.
