Awesome marketing strategy and joint-effort by the Firefox community has resulted in 100,000,000 downloads - and this is only their first year. Marketing and promotion was carried out by Spreadfirefox.com (Sfx) and their affiliates, and no doubt about that, it has been a success story. Very impressive just by looking at the numbers. They’re having this 100 million downloads celebration at Spreadfirefox.com and everyone’s invited upload their photos of the celebration. Here’s mine

Might even switch to Linux sooner or later.

Now that’s something to think about. Internet Explorer was leading the race last year on my blog, and Firefox started to catch up from early 2005 and continues to do so until recently, it took over Internet Explorer. I wonder if Bill Gates gonna have to start his own IE marketing campaign, ‘coz SpreadInternetExplore.com won’t work for sure.

Updates: Stumble upon this anti IE website and I think it might be relevant to this post. http://www.stopie.com/stopie/home/
