Music and browsers

I must warn you. In this post, the term “interesting” is used in a very specific context and is not to be confused with something which is generally interesting. Nope, this is very specifically interesting.

I was going through the web stats for the indie music video-podcast website lofi.tv (one of my pet projects) and came across something interesting.

UPDATE 23.10.2008 : It turned out that lurking behind the browsers is the operating system.

Those who are using the Firefox browser seem to using the website differently than those who are using Internet Explorer. Specifically, users of the Internet Explorer view fewer pages on the site and spend less time on it than their Firefox counterparts. Plus there are more returning Firefox visitors then there are Internet Explorer.

Here are the stats from Google Analytics:

Lofi.tv is a relatively new website so it will be interesting to see if this is a “early web adopter” bias that will phase out or something more.
