Firefox day, and the Firefox Friends Wall

One thing you’ve got to give to whoever runs the Firefox Marketing campaign, he’s given it omnipresence. You can’t go 4 clicks around the web without hitting a “Firefox” button (unless you happen to be getting Windows Update, greater of the two evils) on some site, without having some Firefox referral button stuck in your face, without getting a “This looks best in Firefox” line at the bottom of the page.

And from the makers of the Firefox Marketing Campaign and the Google Firefox Referral plan, comes another blockbusting gimmick, the Firefox Friends Wall. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a brilliant idea, heck, a year ago, I’d have even wanted to participate like mad, but now, after month upon month, and page upon page of Firefox, I’ve had enough. I use Firefox, I like it, having to be told that I should use it when I already use it is getting annoying. And on top of all that, we have this über-gimmicky Friends Wall campaign. Phew!

Ah, wait, I just found something interesting, I can choose “Roshan” enlightened somename. Enlightened, indeed. I changed my mind, I like it.
