What do we know about GigaOM readers in 2007?

You like Firefox to a degree that far exceeds the general Internet population. According to Google Analytics, 47 percent of our visits this year were made through Firefox, while 40.1 percent were made through Internet Explorer. As for the rest, 8.32 percent of our visits came through Safari, 1.69 percent through Opera, and 1.59 percent through Mozilla. Only 3.31 percent of visits were made via dial-up connections. And the top search term that brought you here? “Google phone.”

Oh, and you like lists. A lot.
