Facebook Plunges Again
Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Microsoft's European browser ballot goes live -- check it out!
Hit F5 and watch the order randomize. Scroll right and check out the lesser-known browsers such as Sleipnir or Flock.
Finally, hit the Install or Tell me more buttons and be whisked off to the browser's website!
The analysis is interesting though -- check out the wording, with Firefox going with 'free and secure', while Opera brags about being the only browser with 'Opera Turbo Technology' (!!). Apparently Safari is the world's most innovative browser. I get the feeling the browsers were allowed to provide their own cheesy tagline...
Also note the contiguous background color between the BrowserChoice page and the Internet Explorer 8 website -- and while the other 'Install' links go to direct-download pages, IE8 tries to hook you with its feature set.

Does anyone else think that most people will just click on the browser that happens to be in the first spot? A lot of people think that first in line is best in line, and not everyone knows its a random list.

I think so, I have always thought this was a bad idea, I think there should be a little popup telling people what this screen actually is.

And not to mention that some users(maybe after having a bad experience with fake antiviruses) will think its malware.(fake browsers?). There's nothing to show that this is an authentic message from Microsoft. Even the domain visible is not microsoft.com but an unknown browserchoice.eu .
