I extracted the data, added IP, country and response headers, and dumped it into a usable format:

You can do some decently interesting analysis..like the fact that nginx is the front-end for nearly as many sites as IIS.

Thanks for the data.

"nginx is the front-end for nearly as many sites as IIS", oh I wished that was true but according to my naive counting IIS is over 3 times more popular, am I missing something?:

$ wget http://openmymind.net/top1000data.txt

$ grep -c '"Server": "nginx"' top1000data.txt

$ grep -c '"Server": "Microsoft-IIS' top1000data.txt

Could you share how you extracted the data? I thought it was nifty that way you have it in that txt file. Thanks.

Why is dropbox 'myth and folklore'???

Oh god, and I've been trusting them w/ my backups!!!!!

The categories of the json dump come directly from the original google source..so i don't know (and dropbox certainly isn't the only mis-categorized entry):

Over what time period is pageviews calculated on?

The page views is pulled from the original google list. They have more information at: http://www.google.com/support/adplanner/bin/answer.py?hl=en&...

They don't say what time frame page view is, but they do say unique visits is over the course of 1 month - so its probably safe to assume page view is also over 1 month.
