The chart below shows Google Analytics‘ assessment of SignalFive visitors, over the past 3 months or so.

Google Analytics Browser and OS Stats

The key takeaways are:

1. Firefox on Mac and Windows accounts for over 50%.
2. 45% of our visitors use Windows. 38% use Macs.
3. One in five users is browsing with IE.

This is significantly different from global OS and browser usage. According to Net Applications’ operating system market share, global Mac share is under 10%. And the same source tells us that IE has 68% of global market share, with Firefox at 21%.

Our visitors are particularly savvy users, as indicated by the widespread adoption of Firefox. I would wager that many of them are creative professionals, as indicated by the unusually high Mac percentage.

After two months of working from some wonderful cafés (Gramstand—sadly it closed down while we were working there on a daily basis; The Mercury Dime, a recent East Village addition, go visit!; and Cocoabar, still alive and kicking), we’ve set up shop. In mid-December SignalFive moved into offices on 35th and 7th Ave, in the Fashion District, a block from Macy’s.

We’re on the 7th Floor of the Mary McFadden building, on 240 West 35th.

It’s a busy little ‘hood, with a lot of hustle and flow. Clothes on racks line the sidewalks, and you can get decent sherpa jackets for $15. Nice hackerwear. Madison Square Garden is two blocks away, and Penn Station is one block away. Pretty much every major subway line is two minutes away! And for what it’s worth, there are two Starbucks on our block, on 7th and 8th Ave, and two Andrew’s Coffeeshops.

We’re hoping to stay here for a while. Come visit and have a glass of port with us:
