Teli Ka Erhuo En, the trend commentator community colleges and universities planning (scup) the University of Michigan last summer Some folks at the University of Oregon conducted a comparison 127 on the website of the University of analysis and design trends. You might think that the results of this study would not be appropriate for a "views" of the works, but you would be a mistake -- Especially if the report is written by je St. sauver. j his views through loud and clear, when I simply visit report, I believe that this will not only interested, but the comments and je , Count as a public one, too. The first part, in this respect, its trends, including methodology, Web server software used, the minimum page of natural size, and trends breakdown of the site into the "domain" for various types of users, such as prospective students, alumni, staff, etc. The report covers the first half of je These areas, but also in use. Enjoy! ------------------ je St. sauver the University of Oregon computer center Research Sample schools selected on a set of AAUs of all universities (http://www.aau.edu/aau/members.html), All of the first two or better the National University doctoral student, from the 2002 U.S. News and World Report ranked the University and other minority colleges and universities which compared the traditional or otherwise in the local nomination of tolerance.

Almost all sites in a country constantly changing, so we can see that in a site 6 months ago may not bear any kind of similar , Now. Despite these provisions restrictions, we believe that many Web sites have an enormous curious about what their peers are doing online, we hope that the results of this study will provide at least a solid foundation for the productivity of local discussion.

Web server software as part of our study, we "fingerprint", the main Web server running in each study site using Internet Periscope (http://www.lokbox.net/internetperiscope.asp ), curious to see what the software running on the school. (Select Network server software can have a significant impact on the web site features such designers can be deployed, as well as security and performance site , Etc.). Our 172 study sites, 70.3 percent of the people running the Apache, 12.2% running in the Microsoft IIS, and 11 percent, running Netscape Of the enterprises, and a handful of other less popular Web server (webstar, Lotus Domino, Web Server and the need to IBMs HTTP Server) is also considered. The largest contingent of the University of Apache for them Web servers, and Microsofts IIS generally associated with smaller or religious subsidiary schools .
