Time for my weekly look at the logs. BottomFeeder downloads went at 344 per day clip, slightly down from last week - I expect I'll see a surge (from existing users) when I get 4.1 out. With the latest NR updates from Michael, it should be soon. If the build I'm using now looks good, I'll release it on Monday. Anyway, the download details:
| Platform | BottomFeeder Downloads |
| Windows | 672 |
| HPUX | 421 |
| Sources | 320 |
| Mac 8/9 | 295 |
| Update | 253 |
| Linux x86 | 163 |
| Mac X | 153 |
| CE ARM | 76 |
| Windows98/ME | 24 |
| Linux Sparc | 8 |
| SGI | 8 |
| Solaris | 7 |
| Linux PPC | 6 |
| AIX | 5 |
| Source Script | 2 |
Next up, the HTML page blog accesses:
| Tool | Percentage of Accesses |
| Internet Explorer | 42.6% |
| Mozilla | 38% |
| Other | 11.8% |
| MSN Bot | 4.5% |
| Google Bot | 3.1% |
Those numbers are about the same as they've been, maybe a bit more parity between the Mozilla and IE numbers. "Other" is pretty darn high though - there are a lot of tools being used in small numbers, apparently. Finally, the syndication feed results:
| Tool | Percentage of Accesses |
| Mozilla | 33.2% |
| Other | 13.4% |
| Net News Wire | 11.1% |
| BottomFeeder | 6.9% |
| Planet Smalltalk | 4.6% |
| Safari RSS | 3.9% |
| Magpie | 2.9% |
| Internet Explorer | 2.4% |
| NewsGator | 2.3% |
| BlogSearch | 1.9% |
| SharpReader | 1.8% |
| Feed Reader | 1.7% |
| RSS Bandit | 1.7% |
| BlogLines | 1.7% |
| RSSReader | 1.6% |
| Feed Demon | 1.6% |
| JetBrains | 1.3% |
| Liferea | 1% |
| Java | 1% |
| Google Bot | 1% |
| Python | 1% |
| News Fire | 1% |
| MSN Bot | 1% |
The array of tools used to get at RSS/Atom is still large, at least for my feeds. Given the distribution of Macs in the population at large, it's fascinating that NetNewsWire is so popular relative to other tools.
