Want to know who’s on your site and where they came from, in real time? Then Whos.Amung.us is the tool for you. Whos.amung.us is a very simple widget that is embedded into your site and it shows how many people are actually on your site at any point in time. The code itself is simple and will take about 10 seconds to implement.

The question is however, do you want everyone to know how many people are on your site at any time? If you have a large site with great throughput, then it is idea. However, if your site is either small or is of a medium size but in decline, then this widget is not for you. It really only aims to boost the ego of the publisher and not too much else, but has a nice little novelty factor.

It was reported by News.com.au that Australia has one of the largest Firefox user numbers in the world. The Oceania region, which includes Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, had the highest percentage of Firefox browsers in the world at the end of last year, according to French web survey firm XiTi. The actual percentage of Firefox browsers has rise by 12% in Oceania in the last year and a half alone. This is a faster growth rate than Europe of even North America.

Im interested to see what percentage of the remain browser users use, IE or something else?

I have been waiting for the last five months for Pandora to re-open their international service, but still nothing has happened. The site is still down for non-US members and the company is still saying the royalties required to pay labels and artists are still too high to provide an ad-supported web radio service. So what am i going to listen to during the day? At the moment it is my ipod and I really need some variety.
