About a year ago I posted about browser and OS usage on this site and search.ie Damien mentioned a new report on browser market penetration this morning, so I thought I'd have a quick peak at my stats. The results surprised me! The first image is the browser usage for this site.

Dave "RedFly" Davis has released a handy little plugin for Firefox called Google Global. The idea behind it is simple. If you are doing SEO on your site it's important to see how you rank across multiple Googles ie. the country specific ones. For example, your site might rank really well in Google UK, but really badly in Google Ireland. With this plugin you no longer have to type in the address of each Google you want to check against - you can simply use your mouse to pass the search query against the Google of your choice. Handy! Other people have already been talking about it.
