The Mozilla Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation) is hoping to set the Guinness world record for the most software downloads in a 24 hour period. This record breaking event is being planned to coincide with the release of version 3 of their Firefox browser. The release date has not been set, but you can sign up to be part of this record breaking event by pledging your participation in what is being called Download Day at spreadfirefox.com. If you are not familiar with Firefox; Firefox is an open-source, free, Internet browser alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Firefox is filled with far more features than Internet Explorer and the upcoming version 3 is considerably faster. I am currently running a beta version of Firefox 3 and I love it!
So, pledge to participate in Download Day. When the date is set, you will be informed via e-mail. On Download Day, get yourself the fastest, most feature filled Internet Browser available. ...and be part of a Guinness world record!
Technically, the Guinness world record does not yet exist. Per theregister.uk.co;
Mozilla is trying for a record in a new category, according to a representative of the firm. That means it doesn't have an existing mark to better. The open source browser outfit aims to secure over 1.6m downloads over 24 hours.
But heck, world records need to start somewhere. Be part of it!
Special THANKS to Kyle for the tip...
