From the very earliest of Spread Firefox days, we've been trying to find ways to make it as easy as possible to spread the word. We've got a great affiliates program for people with blogs and websites, we've pushed the envelope with amazing campaigns like the New York Times promotion, and we've harnessed the talents of creative types worldwide to capture the Firefox message in 30 second commercials with Firefox Flicks.
We've relied heavily on blog posts and buttons but to date, we haven't made it easy enough for "regular users" to spread the word. That's all about to change with World Firefox day.
Today we're launching a new program that will make it super-easy for each and every Firefox user to rescue one more person from the pain and perils of surfing the web with an oudated and unsafe browser. This new site, located at World Firefox Day will guide users through the simple steps of 1. selecting one person (and only one person) who needs to be saved. 2. inviting them to download and install Firefox. 3. registering to have both of their names listed and celebrated in an interactive display inside of the Firefox 2 program.
We've localized the site into French, German, Spanish, Polish and Japanese so if you visit the site using a browser set for one of these languages, you should see a localized version.
Thanks to your amazing efforts over the last two years,we've got tens of millions of users and we need your help reaching as many of them as possible with the simple request that they tell just one more person about the benefits of Firefox. Each of you has already helped to rescue many others and now we're asking for some help spreading the word about World Firefox Day and the easy new tool for spreading Firefox. Head over to World Firefox Day, familiarize yourself with the new site, and then start telling all of the other Firefox users you know about how they can help improve the Web.
Firefox has achieved what no other program has, all thanks to the efforts of this amazing community of contributors. So roll up your sleeves, bust open your contact list, and tell all your friends about World Firefox Day!
