From The Wakoopa blog
April 27, 2009
I’m happy to announce the release of the inaugural edition of our quarterly software trends report, named The State of Apps.
Since we started with Wakoopa, we’ve acquired over 525 million hours of software usage data from 75,000 members. In total, 200,000 applications have been logged on our platform so far. Wakoopa users have also shared more than 3 million application recommendations to date.
This means that we have a great understanding of what applications are on the rise, and what audiences are using them. An example of this was the upcoming of the Google Chrome browser, or more recently new Twitter clients such as Tweetie.
This report seeks to highlight these important trends in the desktop software and web applications industry that are timely and relevant. Our goal is to provide new insights into how desktop and web applications have emerged and evolved over the first quarter of 2009, and what titles and phenomena are most important now.
The Wakoopa community consists of a wide variety of professionals and end-users who are early technology adopters by nature. Our recent survey revealed the following user statistics:
48% of Wakoopa users rate themselves as extremely proficient with computers and software
88% of the Wakoopa community is male with a median age of 26.9 years.
41% of Wakoopa users are based in the US and 10% are based in the UK, with an additional 15% in Europe and 10% in Asia
31% of all Wakoopa users state that the current economic times have forced them to curtail how much they spend on software
Some of the key findings revealed include:
1. Facebook usage is consistent throughout working and non-working hours. Daily activity on social networks across all regions peaked on average between 9 and 10 PM. Daily activity across all web applications was highest between 4 and 5 PM.
2. Twitter continued its growth spike throughout the entire first quarter of 2009 with a heavy increase in March 2009. Tweetdeck ranked first among users who posted updates to Twitter via desktop with Twhirl a close second.
3. The most popular newcomer among Twitter clients, as well as overall apps on Mac is Destroy Twitter.
4. The most popular newcomers on Windows are games, Burnout Paradise and Mirror’s Edge.
5. Windows Live Hotmail and Symbaloo were the fastest gainers among web apps while Google Friend Connect and Veoh showed the greatest decline.
6. Google Chrome is making a significant impact on the browser market with 15% usage across all countries and age groups. The Opera browser market has its highest adoption levels in Europe. Firefox is the dominant browser of choice worldwide for Wakoopa users.
7. The game, World of Warcraft has its highest percentage of usage in Asia.
8. Windows Live Messenger is the dominant IM client on Windows worldwideand across all age groups. This differs in North America however, where IM usage is divided among several 3rd party IM clients, including Skype and Digsby.
Here’s a two-page preview of the report:
