A few days ago my mother asked, why I'm blogging predominantly in English. After all, I'm based in Germany and my mothers' English is not up-to-date. That kind of led me into checking the geographical 24100.net visitor distribution. Here are the stats for the last seven days (spiders, crawlers and spam bots have been filtered out):

Geographical distribution of 24100.net visitors 

 

Interestingly enough my home country - Germany - ranks number 4 only. By far the most visitors originate from the United States, closely followed by a large amount of Chinese visitors.

Inside Europe my home country is clearly responsible for the most page impressions, though:

Once we are talking stats, I'd like to kindly thank all of my visitors for generating 100.000+ weekly hits and the large amount of feedback I do receive via the Contact options. I try my very best to answer every single email but bear with me if sometimes it takes a couple of days.

Quick note: Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 breaks facebook Chat, Online Friends and Profile Videos. You'll constantly get JavaScript errors. At this moment there's a simple workaround: Go to Tools > Compatibility View Settings and add facebook.com to the list of sites. Henceforward IE 8 Beta 2 will render facebook in IE 7 compatibility mode.

As a shortcut you can click the newly introduced Compatibility View Button right next to the URL in the Address Bar:

This will immediately reload and rerender the current page in IE 7 mode. The button will only be offered when IE notices that it makes sense.
