I’d be interested to know more about other bloggers’ User-Agent statistics. I think mine indicate a noteworthy trend: the share of traditional browsers tends to shrink significantly, in favor, of course, of RSS aggregators. This is particularly hard on Internet Explorer, which used to represent something like 80% of User-Agents. This is of course not a sign that people are using IE less frequently to surf the Web, but it does mean that, at least for Weblogs, people are using alternate techniques more and more frequently.
For this week, all versions of IE represent 40.5% of all User-Agents, all versions of Netscape: 12.9%, and NIF + NetNewsWire + Syndirella + Syndic8 + BlogBot (don’t ask me why a Danish bot reads my feed): 21.7%.
Corollary question: how long before Microsoft incorporates an RSS aggregator into IE?
