Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Hey Mozilla, pass us a Guinness
...World Record that is.That's right, Mozilla is attempting to break a Guinness World Record for the most downloads in 24 hours with its upcoming Firefox 3 release.
"Download Day" is nothing new for the Firefox crew, and it's really a great way to spread the word to the world about software. Sure, people can download things whenever they want, but there's something cool about all doing it at once...it's like Hands Across America. Except it has little to do with hands, and it's global. You get the idea.
So how can you participate?
Good answer, glad you asked!
Go pledge to download the final release of Firefox 3 by signing up here. Don't worry, none of the Sopranos will come out and break your kneecaps if you don't really download it, they just want to get an idea of who is game.
The date of release hasn't been well...released yet, so be sure to bookmark that page and pay attention to this space for more details.
Quick Firefox stats:
- Since 2004, the Firefox community has grown to more than 175 million users.
- Firefox is available in more than 45 languages and used in more than 230 countries.
- Their logo is rad.

I'll use it if it doesn't crash on my Mac.

Have you had issues on the latest build? I haven't used it enough as my main browser to see the issues. Let me know!

Their logo is also a dog chasing it's tail. I'm not anti Firefox. Their logo is awesome compared to Internet Explorer logo; an 'e'...wow...really creative

I always thought it was a fox running around the world really fast but, hey, that's just me.

I thought it was a Ferret with wings.

Hmm, interesting. Never thought of it that way, but now I can see it.
Hope it doesn't stick in my mind! ;)

That's a very good idea for making a g records in that way. I like ff and will spread this news as much as I can

Sweet! Spreading the FF word is always good, I'm sure they appreciate the support.
Did you check out the map they have on there? It was pretty neat.

I signed up with these guys early on and my inbox was FLOODED with Spam.
Unless they have fixed whatever problem they had, don't do this.

If you look at the map, there's fewer than a hundred Nigerians signed up. Now, that's strange, since I've received emails from thousands of Nigerians, so I know they're all on the Net!

Uhm, which software currently holds the world record? Oh, I'll give FF3 a pass. I'll wait for the portable version and see if it's worth installing in my system.
