StatCounter launches free global stats tool for bloggers

Traffic information provider StatCounter has launched StatCounter Global Stats, a new online and free research tool for media, analysts, bloggers, researchers and members which will help them monitor Internet market share battles. Just like its traffic tracking tool, StatCounter Global Stats records market share of Search Engines, Browsers and Operating Systems including mobile.

StatCounter Global Stats will monitor issues such as how Google’s browser Chrome is doing against Microsoft Internet Explorer or how the iPhone is succeeding against traditional market leader Nokia in the mobile browser market.

The data is currently updated approximately five times per day. Users, who do not need to be one of StatCounter’s two million members, can sign on for alerts as well as customize and download charts.
