comScore, one the nation’s leading Internet Measurement Firms has started a new blog, and kicked things off with a great demographic breakdown of IE users vs. FireFox users. (HT: A VC)

What does this mean for your business? Cross-Browser Compatibility is become more and more vital for your success. Gone are the days when 98% of users were browsing with IE. The rapid spread of Macs and alternative PC browsers means you’d better test in all browsers, or risk leaving a lot of business on the table.
