Firefox Download Day 2008 June 4th, 2008
Hey dudes, June is gonna be a very exciting month, not to mentioned the very much anticipated iPhone 3G launch on APPLE WWDC, we are also going to have the Firefox Download Day 2008, which aims to break the Guiness World Record of most software download in a day. The development team seems very confident in meeting their target. I think this is a very creative way of marketing the software, and of course, Firefox does live up to its name and it’s one of the very best browsers I’ve ever used. The ability of customisation and numerous plugins (I heart Firebug, Splitbrowser and Piclens) are great for work and daily use, except for the occasional crashing due to the incompatibility of plugins.
As of now, more than 500k people have pledged to download Firefox 3 on the day of release and I believe this number will only grow exponentially as the words are spread across the world.
Since it’s such a great browser (I think Safari is better in performance and stability, I use it to do my blog entries, I hate crashes) in terms of usability, let’s do a part in breaking this Guiness World Record for the Mozilla team! Simply click on the images above to pledge yourself, learn more here and spread the words now!
Oh, on the Firefox Download Day site, I tried to check out the number of people who have pledged for the download and I realised my mouse will never hover accurately on that particular Singapore pixel (a little red dot indeed), it was either showing the stats of Malaysia or Indonesia. Small aye? Nonetheless, I checked it out from the dropdown menu and Singapore has about 2900 pledges, and of course USA owns the bulk of the pledges at about 111k. Is it that the technological scene hasn’t really taken off here or people are still loyal fans of IE?
Anyway, FYI, Firefox RC1 is already out and I am using it already. Do check it out!
