UKNM: Measuring Browsers

[Sam Michel]

Hiya...


Back in the dark mists of time there used to be a thingamajig, which kept

track of the percentage of browsers hitting real-life UK websites (not like


http://www.browserwatch.com). Having recently tried to find this info

online and failing, I confered with friends who had also been looking

without any joy.


Seems to me that it shouldn't be too hard to organise a weekly chart of the

share of usage each type of browser, version and operating system averaging

the figures from a good sample of websites with predominantly UK traffic.

I'd be willing to co-ordinate this i.e. gather the figures, if

agencies/clients/ISPs would be willing to email me the figures on a regular

basis.


I can't see that there would be any commercial sensitivity in releasing

this kind of information especially as the published result will only be an average

of the different percentages and I'll happily out up a page on the Chinwag

site with the numbers and links to contributing sites/agencies (maybe with

logos if space allows).


The result would be a handy barometer for everyone involved in website

creation for everyone.


What do you think? Would you be happy to send me the figures? - I'm

assuming that every decent agency should have regular access to this kind

of information (or able to get it easily)...
