Who has the biggest voice?

In the online world, who has the biggest voice? The Linux community? Windows XP community? Or the OS X community? Searching on Google Trends gives some interesting results:

From the Google Trends graph it sure looks like Linux has a disproportiante search volume on the Internet.

Here’s another interesting test: Who has the bigger online voice, Internet Explorer or Firefox?

According to Google Trends, Firefox does.

There are some trend searches that are a bit odd. Compare “Bill Gates, Steve Jobs”. Click on the Cities tab. It makes sense that the top three cities for searching for Bill Gates are Seattle, Delhi India, and Washington DC. However, click on the Regions tab. The Phillipines is the number one region in the world for following Bill Gates? That just seems odd. Hmmm. Interesting.

  1. Since these are searches, would that mean that (for example) Firefox has a bigger voice, or that people are more confused about it than they are about IE? (like, where do I get it? I found IE already!)

    Oh, and the phillipines reportedly has a fairly large farm of anonymizers used by chinese to get around filters. Dunno if that’s true, but seems plausable.
