Firefox 3’s Colbert Bump was Real!

Not that I had any doubts, but it turns out the Colbert Bump for Firefox 3 was real! For those not knowing what we are speaking of check out the definition of the Colbert Bump for more information.

Here’s what we did:  we looked at downloads of Firefox 3 by users within the U.S. – and then we drilled down to a minute-by-minute view to see what, if anything, could be detected.  At minute 23 of the broadcast, Colbert said, “Firefox 3 just got the Colbert Bump.”  What happened next?

I heard Colbert is a high ranking member of the Bavarian Illuminati. Now, did his membership confer to him his media prowess (and thus his influence on the ‘general public’), or did said media prowess land him an invite to the most successful secret society in history?

It’s still up in the air for me.

What Do You Think?
