OT: "Most Popular" websites

I got a question, and if I don't get the proper anser, then it's a gripe.
Anyway, I was just scrolling through my RSS feeds, and there's one that got
me thinking: "MySpace gains top ranking of US Web sites". Now, it's not that
MySpace is popular - that's not what concerns me. What concerns me is how
they got this ranking. Does that mean that they counted a hit (or visit,
depending on how they're counting) for everyone that visited the myspace.com
domain? Or only people that stayed for more than 10 seconds or so? Because,
what I can't figure out is how msn.com isn't the most popular website year
after year. Every copy of IE ships with msn.com (or a redirector to it) as
the default home page. That means every time someone with IE fires up their
browser, msn.com gets hit. Sure, it might not be a unique visitor, but
that's my thinking anyway. And yeah, people change their home page all the
time. But it's been my experience that most people eithe rdon't know how or
are too lazy to do it (I myself can admit to still having msn as my home
page on my work machine [where there are no GPOs preventing this] and on one
machine at home).

So, anyone got an answer for me? Or is MySpace (and every other "most
popular" website ever listed really that much more popular than MSN?

Probly has more to do with the fact that a lot of folks have canned IE and
are useing Firefox some other browser, so they don't have the msn home
page. Look at the sekrit site's stats. less than 20% of the hits identify
as IE, as oppsed to nearly 25% Nutscrape and it's clones. IE has lost
hugely in share in recent years.

By the way, if you look at the OS stats, 76% identify as "unknown"

WTF is that?

I've been using Firefox for about six months, and I think it's generally
great. BUT, after about four hours of use on my laptop it appears to be
using about 160mb!!! If I close a few tabs, the memory usage doesn't go
down. Sigh.

That's all well and good, but IE still has the majority of the market share,
and I've never seen msn.com on ANY "most popular" list, even 5 years ago
before Firefox/Mozilla became really popular.

That wasn't the answer I was looking for, so my question has been upgraded
to "gripe." Thanks, JaR.

76% - 53% robots and 23% misbehaving (possibly prefetching) netscapes?
25% - including prefetches?
2% real netscape visits?

msn.com is not the default home page on all new computers. Buy a Dell or a
Gateway, fer'instance,and you'll see for yourself.

And a lot of folks have canned IE? Have you any idea what 85% market share
means? OK, it's big. 17 out of 20. 340 million out of 400 million.

Sure, Firefox has done good. I'm using it (like many geeks), but keep IE
close by. It's not smart research to look at what geeks use, though.

Oh, and my 88-year-old mother-in-law decided to change her home page to
sensis.com.au. Them users are pretty stupid, but sometimes they can
surprise you.

That's where I check it from my AS/400 (oops, I forgot I gotta call it an

And as far as MySpace goes, you gotta figger on the millions of
teenieboppers hitting it 400000000000 times a day to see if they have any
new friends.

Since this has turned into a Firefox v/s IE debate,

I find Firefox to be terribly slow... takes 6 - 10 seconds to launch
up. Therefore, I keep IE 6.0 as the default browser, and only
occasionally use Firefox. The features in Firefox far surpass those of
IE (haven't seen IE 7.0 yet, since it's still in beta), but the initial
loadup time dissuades me from switching to Firefox.

I haven't noticed any substantial lag with firefox on my box, maybe your MS
is retaliating. Myself, since I have to support the public worse than
clusers who access the bank website, I have the following installed:
Firefox
Mozilla
Netscape
Opera
Lynx(just so it would get some numbers on the MCNGP.com stats)
IE7 beta 2 (cause everyone knows that new MS products are better than old
ones even in beta)

And as far as stripped down no nonsense super browsing I think I sorta like
Opera the best, but the jury's still out.

Me too. I upgraded to 9.0 on my windoze boxen, and now some sites won't
load completely. The so-called gurus over at the community site claim it's
not Opera's fault, it is just that Opera is supposedly less tolerant of
script errors is some sites than IE or Firefox. And to be fair, Opera
generated a nice error report that tells exactly what bugs it encountered.

But, INNSH-O again, if you build a browser that just won't load a site
completely when it hits a bug, and all others will, then it's your
browser's fault, bucko.

Here's me hoping that they come out of their self-congratulatory coma over
there, and fix 9.0, cuz otherwise it's really got some neat stuff going
on. For now tho, stick with 8.54.

Yeah, well, MY governor can call up his big brother and have the sekrit
service terminate your governor. Especially since he refused Dubya's
request to send more NG's to the border line.

The nerve of that guy.

On a serious note, do you think your governator will get re-elected?

Dude, that is not the Governator. It's a lookalike, or a photoshop
touchup...anyhow, it was published by a tabloid. Unless you live in Arkansas,
you can't believe those things.

Yes. But it is because the guy running against him has stated the he will

Wait just a bloody minute!! I live in Arkansas and I know

who were born and raised in AR, might believe that it

Rocks, now those were good.

Neil: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half
an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), eat a lump of cold
poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for
permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us,
and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."

I know he doesn't, but have you ever seen an aged body builder? Once the quit
working out, they don't just shrink back down to nothing. That body looks like
it was stuck in a cast for 3 years.
