Jabber clients and OS usage stats (2)
March 22nd, 2006 by lucas
I already did this last september. This time, 1145 online clients from the Apinc Jabber server replied to the poll. It was done around 4:30 PM, french local time. Here are the results.
Systems :
- GNU/Linux : 38% (in september 2005: 34%)
- Windows : 37% (34%)
- Mac OS : 18% (23%)
- Others (AmigaOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, SunOS) : 0% (1%)
- Unknown (Gaim doesn’t always report the OS) : 5% (6%)
Clients :
- Psi: 28% (28%)
- Gaim: 25% (25%)
- iChatAgent: 13% (18%)
- Kopete: 7% (7%)
- Gajim: 5% (3%)
- Pandion: 4% (2%)
- libgaim: 4% (3%)
- Miranda: 2% (1%)
- neos: 2% (1%)
- BitlBee: 1% (0%)
- Exodus: 1% (1%)
- Trillian: 1% (2%)
- Unknown: 0% (none)
- JBother: 0% (none)
- JAJC: 0% (0%)
All clients with at least one reply are listed here.
I’ll let you do the analysis :-) I’m just quite happy with the fact that we know have much less Mac users (most of them were parasites only interested in the MSN gateway).
The scripts are available on request if you want to run them against your own server.
Jabber clients and OS usage stats
September 23rd, 2005 by lucas
I used XMPP4R to do some stats about Jabber clients usage on the Apinc Jabber server, which hosts im.apinc.org, jabber.fr, and many more using virtual hosting.
The stats were done by sending jabber:iq:version requests to online users, and 651 replies were received. It was done at 6:30 PM, french local time. Here are the results :
Systems :
- GNU/Linux : 34% (226)
- Windows: 34% (223)
- MacOS : 23% (150)
- Others (AmigaOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, SunOS) : 1% (7)
- Unknown (Gaim doesn’t always report the sytem) : 6% (45)
Clients :
- Psi : 28% (186)
- gaim : 25% (166)
- iChatAgent : 18% (121)
- Kopete : 7% (46)
- libgaim : 3% (23)
- Gajim : 3% (23)
- Pandion : 2% (18)
- Trillian : 2% (16)
- Miranda : 1% (13)
- neos : 1% (10)
- Exodus : 1% (8)
- BitlBee : 0% (6)
- Tkabber : 0% (4)
- Imendio Gossip : 0% (3)
- JAJC : 0% (2)
- webjabber.net : 0% (2)
- Gabber : 0% (1)
- Jabberwocky : 0% (1)
- Mafia : 0% (1)
- JETI : 0% (1)
The results might be biased by the facts that :
- Most of the users are quite new to Jabber
- There’s a high percentage of Mac users (and therefore iChat users) since an article was published about Jabber on a popular french Mac website. Those users are sort of parasites who only use the MSN transport.
The script to do the mass-jabber:iq:version sending is available in the XMPP4R SVN repository (data/doc/xmpp4r/examples/advanced/versionpoll.rb). The ruby script to analyze results can be sent on demand. So please run the scripts on your servers :-)
