10 days, 10,000 names, $250,000

Wow.

Ten short days ago a single call went out inviting you to proudly proclaim your support for a better browser.

You answered with a storm of support. Congratulations Firefox users!

The NYT campaign has now closed. But the Firefox 1.0 launch is just around the corner - Firefox needs your ongoing support to spread the word.

This campaign drew on worldwide support from over 80 countries including Jordan, Gibraltar and Estonia.

More stats and complete country list coming shortly...

As I mentioned in the first post, this campaign has been a fundraiser for the Mozilla Foundation. Check the FAQ (http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=node/view/3749) for more about how money is used.

(Thanks for a strange and wonderful 30th birthday - today)

glad to see they raised so much money for it. hope we find out when the ad will appear in the new york times. i heard they're waiting for the paper to pick a day so it costs less but there's probably going to be more than one ad with all that money they raised. :D

They need a tv spot. Of course, that would blow all the money is one shot though. :(

Anyway, I am happy,
