75% of Network Connections Not From Browsers

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday January 1, 2004 @05:01PM from the move-over-www dept.

Trailwalker writes "An article at BigBlueBall.com states that 75% of web connections do not use a browser. IM and P2P applications are used instead." While surprising, this is probably more indicative of how instant messaging has been able to complement and/or replace email in recent times.

I agree but the link "Confessions of a Web Cam Girl" below the article seems interesting to me

I just read that Tim Berners-Lee just got a knighthood for inventing the internet. CNN said so as did the BBC so its just got to be true!

What's weird is that your link doesn't work. Please stop lying, and accusing others of silly things. Instead, grow up.

Wow, try a little of that thing called thinking. It's a blast and you'll find life much better with it.

There was a stray space in the link, once removed it worked fine.

I think a blowjob is more normal for serious cases of bitterness like these. :/

The other poster was probably just trolling, or is either a jerk idiot, or both. Anyone who reads this site knows that spaces are inserted in long tokens.

(Sorry for being offtopic, but, hey, the whole thread is). This is part of a war against Slashdot. I think it's kind of extremist, but it's amusing anyways. Google the net for "anti slashdot".

There was evidence to prove that Overly Critical Guy is a lying cocksucker, but he deleted it. Think independently.

And yours is an attempt to karma whore. It's also a redundant "me too!" post as well.
