love poem to firefox

LOVE POEM TO Firefox, celebrating its release one day today, posted to the WaSP Buzz blog.

Stats for Molly.Com show Firefox/Mozilla at about 23% of my readership in September. Current stats for November (and we’re only in the second week, my lovelies) are over 32% for same. Alas, IE still remains at 34%.

Help me change that by going and grabbing Firefox 1.0 today!

    Just about everyone has reported on the release of Firefox 1.0 today, but only you did it with grace and style. Nice one, Molly.

    Not as good as your “Beautiful Browser” Poem over at WASP. ;-)

    I love Firefox. Unfortunately, our IT group mandates that we use IE company-wide. :( This may some-what skew your results.

    Alas, IE still remains at 34%.Hey, it’s the only browser I can use from work! :)

    What are your stat results for Opera? My favorite browser.

    There once was a browser named Firefox
    Who’s competitor from Microsoft sucked c**s
    They said, “We’re for free.”
    “Not fair,” said IE
    As they shoved their heads back up their buttocks.

    The internet is a beautiful struggle, people search through the rubble (IE) for a suitable browser (FF)

    FF is a great browser but somehow I can’t get myself away from one app thats both browser and email.

    Also, if you didn’t see the story on CNN.com, it’s a good read.

    Masterful work of literature Keith!

    Been using Firefox and Mozilla suite for a while now. Unfortunately computers in college only have IE which doesnt help. I am trying to spread the word on my own website, too. Every litle helps!

    I bet the percentage was over 70% IE a year ago. Progress is being made. I can remember cursing folks who didn’t switch to IE. Boy, was I wrong about that!

  13. Iain says:

    I too am forced to use IE at work so I have contributed to your disappointing figures. :( I shall try and stay away from now on and only visit from home. ;)

  14. RIchard says:

    I am not forced to use IE at work. I forced them to change by sendng the IT department emials every time there was a new security flaw found.

    How about submitting Firefox Haiku’s? ( refresher: 3 lines – 5-7-5 syllables)

    It’s all about me
    Firefox the new browser king
    Adios IE
