Last week, we looked at which regions have shown the fastest and slowest adoption rates of Firefox 3.5<\/a>.\u00a0 Asa had a great idea to expand on this analysis \u2013 why not visualize it through a global map to more easily see if there are any overarching patterns across particular regions?<\/p>\n

So, we took our Firefox usage data from the past week, uploaded it to IBM’s manyeyes project<\/a> (which we previously mentioned here<\/a>), and created the following visualization.\u00a0 The image below shows Fx3.5 adoption by region.\u00a0 You’ll notice that there seems to be relatively more dark shaded areas around Russia and Asia.<\/p>\n

\"fx35_usage_map\"<\/p>\n

If you want to explore this visualization further, you can visit the manyeyes page<\/a> or simply click on the “interact” button below.\u00a0 You’ll notice that with the drop-down menu near the upper left-hand corner, you can select the Firefox version — Fx2, Fx3.0, or Fx3.5 — you’re interested in viewing stats for.\u00a0 This should also come in handy for detecting regions where Fx2 usage is still significant (which we previously explored here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
