As the Web continues to grow, the amount of things that can be done in cyberspace expands as well. We are creating an invisible universe, where time and space slowly fade away. And as search engine technology develops, we are coming closer to recording human knowledge in the largest archive ever known on earth - the Web. This blog aims to address key issues in the Internet that affects the lifestyle of people so accustomed to using it. Ubiquity - it appears to be everywhere.

Firefox 3 Download Day

June 17, 2008. Firefox attempted to set the Guiness' World Record for the most number of downloads in 24 hours. I pledged first, then they emailed me a link so I can download Firefox 3.

Last I checked, they're just waiting for the Guiness review. I quote:

"Awesome work - we’re almost there!

Thanks to the support of the always amazing Mozilla community, we got more than 8 million Firefox 3 downloads in 24 hours. That’s more Firefox downloads than we’ve ever had in a single day -- an impressive feat indeed!

Please be patient while the good people of Guinness review our World Record attempt. This might take a few days so please check back here. And, a huge thanks for all of your support!"

In the Philippines, there have been 38,397 downloads. I just checked.

Beauty Maven said...: I upgraded to FF3 a week later. I was avoiding the bottleneck thing that bogged the Mozilla servers down.

Anyways, the new FF is ok. I didn't see much improvement but it's better than what IE can offer. The only thing I don't like is that some of the plugins were late in upgrading with newer versions to be compatible with FF3. But then it's the plugin developer's responsibility, not Firefox's.; 9:46 AM
