Ok, there’s no surprise if I say Internet Explorer is ruling over the world (Microsoft already had a lot of problems regarding this); but what do you think about Internet Explorer 6 (developed in 2001) being the third most used browser? Or that Firefox 2.0 has more popularity than Opera 10?

Here are some other facts:

• Worldwide data says that Internet Explorer 8, 7 and 6 are the most used browsers.
• In the US, Firefox 3.5 is the third most used browser; behind IE 8 and 7.
• In Africa, IE 6 is the most used browser with 29% of the current share.
• In Antarctica the most used browser is Firefox 3.0. Yes, I said Antarctica.

These charts are using one year stats, from May 09 to May 10.

And you? Which is your favorite browser?

As you can see from the screenshot above, it takes note of what people are searching for in Google and Yahoo!. They also have Twitter monitored so you can find out what’s happening there too which is significant considering news spreads fastest on Twitter. Then, smaller sites such as the New York Times and Alexa are covered followed by smaller search engines.

The service is currently in public Beta and it will be interesting to see what the team comes up with once its ready for the full launch.

Twitter has been flat lining over the past couple of months. The service has gathered a huge community, but sign-up rates have stalled as of late. However, Twitter founder Evan Williams just tweeted that the 11th of January was Twitters biggest EVER day. For some reason, the tweeting community all increased their tweeting habits at the same time.

This is encouraging as nothing particularly news worthy happened. Twitter has been known to receive big spikes when something huge is happening such as the death of Michael Jackson or major sporting tournaments. But nope, nothing out of the ordinary yesterday.

What’s even stranger is that Evans also mentioned in his tweet that today, would be even bigger. Wonder if the tweeters up top have something huge planned. Or maybe they just have an office betting pool up and running.

But it appears as though Twitter is slowing down and blogging is on the rise once again. The chart above illustrates the recent trend. The orange line represents Twitter and as you can see it grew alongside WordPress (blue line) between February and June. Then it took off by itself leaving WordPress in the gutter. But from September onwards, Twitter simple flattened out and WordPress went back on the rise.

I don’t think Blogs and Twitter are really in the same league. After all, people like information and entertainment – and squeezing that into 140 characters is too much of a task. Looks like blogging will be around for quite a few years to come.
