Thanks, Wayne. Yes, that was my initial interpretation. Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense to use this type of graph – but you never know. Your crossover theory is probably true. Word processors can’t be the most used apps throughout the day.

MacMyDay, I asked the same question above and didn’t get an answer, but I think they must start at “0″ from the band adjacent. The reason I say so is because I find it difficult to believe that there are absolutely no crossovers (where the data for one item crosses over the line of another item) in a 24-hour period.

On the first slide (the weekdays/weekends graph), are the apps stacked up on each other or do they measure from the centre line up (for weekdays) or down (for weekends)?

E.g. are word processors only represented by the visible bright green band, or are they visualised all the way up from the centre line?

Opera is #6 for Windows? TextMate is #10 for Mac?

These stats may be true for uber geeks who spend a lot of time programming, but I’m skeptical that the general population is hot-keying their way through an xhtml document, for example. Hey mom, what’s the key-combo you use to execute a regular expression in TextMate?

Very Interesting. Hey Wakoopa – if you’re reading these comments – you may want to rethink your data visualization on the “Throughout the Day” graph.

I originally thought the center line was “0″ and that Word Processor use was about 10x that of Social Network use. Now I’m wondering if the different colored lines each start at “0″ and Social Network use is approximately the same as Word Processor use.

Your visualizations need to make it more clear exactly what we’re seeing, but otherwise pretty cool.

It doesn’t sound right at all….

I guess the user base is a bunch of geeky students (without offense here…).

For instance, Chrome compared to IE is 1: 100 now. My friend like to call it a “play tool”. IE8 is surpsingly way better than FF too!

Yup, it only represents people who are willing to install tracking software on their computers.

By the way, you can always set your app information to private, as you should be able to with any decent web service.

“you’re more likely to stay on Gmail and YouTube longer than Google Search.”

Well, I think that is by design. Google wants you to spend as little time searching as possible. (Remember the “I’m feeling lucky” button?)

Wakoopa’s small sample size may be a delimiter for broad definition of overall use patterns. However utilizing subset’s of the actual users and social networking. It becomes a powerful software discovery and review engine that identifies users with whom you may already have social connections. Good stuff, Thanks for the Write-up and data.

Do you have any information on how Wakoopa’s sample audience is representative of other users?

Knowing the sampling controls could help put all those stats in better context, thanks.

(75,000 people is more than enough for a survey, if they’re truly representative of the larger group. I wondered why _anyone_ would install “tracking software” on their computer, for instance.)
