*world wide* web.
The market share is very hard to evaluate and is in fact very
contextual.
For example if there are 70% of users using a mobile product X in
Africa, they will be drowned in the majority of western countries,
because the number of users is much more important. Still this 70%
with different type of access or materials is still very important.
Big numbers and raw stats hide often interesting and meaningful
details. We have to be careful.
