Israeli's Love Windows & Hate Macs: A Look at Search Engine Roundtable Readers in NY & Israel
The new Google Analytics is out and I was playing around with the charts the other day - sweet stuff. So I decided to compare the Search Engine Roundtable visitors. I thought it would be cute to profile New Yorkers versus Israelis.
Here is a map overlay of the state of New York. The larger the orange bubble, the more people in that area visit the site. New York City is where most my readers are, if they are based in NY State, but as you can see, I have three Suffern readers (one myself, curious who else are out there).
Here is a map overlay of the state of Israel. The larger the orange bubble, the more people in that area visit the site. Petah Tiqwa, Rosh Haayin, Tel Aviv and Haifa are the most dense for me. Jerusalem is the bubble on the right middle portion, pretty small.
But what I found most interesting is how Israel's love Windows and hate Macs.
New York Readers: 81% use Windows and 16% use Mac.

Israeli Readers: 96% use Windows and 1.7% use Mac.

Don't Israeli's know that Apple Macintosh computers are far superior than PC's running Windows? ;-)
Of course, this is a gross misuse of statistics and we all know there are much better studies out there. But I thought it was fun anyway.
Oh, Google, I know you are reading:
Thanks!
Next month, I will be comparing Search Engine Roundtable to Cartoon Barry readers. Should be fun.

I find it curious about Israel being SO into Windows. It may be the sample size (total Israel readers vs NY readers). But it also may be that Intel invests heavily in Israel, has a big facility in Israel and is a major employer. I would be curious to see how CA compares to NY. But ALWAYS include a total Number along with your % when comparing pie charts.....
