How about some Antarctica?


If you have a question stuck in your head, you need to get an answer.

“Which is the place in the world with biggest Firefox share?”

Antarctica!

Antarctica has consistently Firefox share of 80+ % for years now! (Based on all stat/market share agencies that I could dig into). This could come as a surprise to some people, but think about it! It is totally logical. Antarctica is packed with scientists/pioneers/engineers/brilliant minds that can settle for nothing less that bleeding edge technology, and this is Firefox!

Now how about leveraging this power and recognizing this fact? How about a Mozilla Antarctica Community?

Let’s kick this off! Over the next weeks David Boswell, Robert Nyman, Anthony Ricaud and me will reach out to those people, establishing a community where no browser has gone before.

    Maybe we should create a hackerspace there too!!!

    Is it possible more of you are reaching out than there are people to reach out to?

    This immediately makes me think of the great documentary film “Encounters at the End of the World”, by Werner Herzog, which consists in astonishing interviews with scientists, technicians, philosophers, “professional dreamers” living and working at the scientific research center McMurdo. Indeed, I guess there is a spirit in that community that fits very well the Mozillian ethos.

    Btw, in early 2011, when Firefox was for some time the leading browser in Europe, I posted some thoughts about it here: http://ms-studio.net/?p=1067

    Nice one Mozillza, congrats.

    I wonder how much is the placebo-warming-effect of the burning k9 :)

    It’s hard to warm your hads against an Opera (and it sounds like your tounge may stick to a Chrome if you were brave enough to lick it).
