Community Lessons to Be Learned From the Spread Firefox World Record Attempt
The Spread Firefox community created a call to the masses in helping them set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in a 24 hour period. As of now there are 3,616,856 counted downloads of the newly released Firefox 3.0 browser. The new release became available at 10:00 a.m. PDT and after a rocky start, in which their servers were overloaded with all the influx of requests, the official 24 hour period began at 11:16 a.m. PDT. If you are reading this before the time period runs up, you can help set the record by going to the World Record Download Day 2008 site here.
