Traffic analysis

On Friday this blog post was linked to by Techcrunch, and then by Business Insider and a great many other places, and on twitter. This is what the incoming traffic looked like.

I make no claims for the broader representativeness of this data (or the reliability of Google Analytics), but it is, well, fascinating to see how the use patterns of a heavily techie sample are so different from broader unit market share. 

Also interesting: I posted the same data on my Forbes.com blog a day or so earlier and got under 1k views in total.
