Firefox Plans Mass Marketing Drive
Ivan Mark writes "Christopher Beard, the VP of products at Mozilla Corporation, told ZDNet UK on Monday that there is a 'strong likelihood' that Firefox 1.5, the next major version of the open source browser, will be released on 29 November. Beard said they are planning a 'big marketing push.'
'You will have real people telling you about Firefox's features-- what's cool and great,' said Beard. 'People can create the video and upload it to the Mozilla site. The video will then be reviewed and put on our Web site, with a link from their location.'"
Genetically-modified viral marketing...tastes great with chicken!
never bring a twinkie to a food fight.
Also a good opportunity for aspiring models. "Firefox is the open-source, standards-compliant web browser for everybody. With automatic pop-up blocking and enhanced privacy features, Firefox lets you take back the Internet. Plus, look at my tits."

Free copies of the browser?
If you think imaginary property and real property are the same, when does your house become public domain?
I just hope they can maintain this momentum going forward. They need to look for cross-brand synergies in order to deliver on their key objectives.
I guess today is a passable day to die.
Mozilla Corporation has revamped the concept of web services. We pride ourselves not only on our feature set, but our newbie-proof administration and user-proof use. The micro-CAE factor is web-enabled. If you architect intra-vertically, you may have to transition super-super-macro-nano-extensibly. What does it really mean to seize "wirelessly"? If all of this may seem dumbfounding to you, that's because it is! The project management factor is interactive. Do you have a plan of action to become innovative? Do you have a plan of action to become blog-based? We always redefine customer-directed branding. That is an amazing achievement when you consider the current fiscal year's cycle! The channels factor can be summed up in one word: intuitive. We have come to know that it is better to brand interactively than to reintermediate magnetically. If all of this may seem discombobulating to you, that's because it is!
No offence, but your comment reminded me of this Dilbert strip. :)
Having said that, someone could write a plugin to display OpenDocument documents, just like any other browser plugin, although I would get annoyed that every time I clicked on a link to an OpenDocument file, I had to wait for OpenOffice.org to load...
The problem is that he uses Linux, and doesn't know how to use Google. :)
/unhappy with pretty much every browser
So, have you tried Internet Explorer?
You, sir, have just written all you need to procure millions from venture capitalists. Congratulations! I recommend taking the money to buy yourself lots and lots of toys. Don't worry too much about actually putting out a product or generating any revenue. Those two paragraphs are worth MILLIONS!
