"Spreading Firefox
1. What kinds of things can I do to spread Firefox?
The easiest way to spread Firefox has also proven to be one of
the most effective: simply link to it. If you have joined sfx, you
will receive one point each time someone clicks your special affiliate
link.
* We offer a wide variety of buttons and banners that we
encourage you to use on your website. Additionally, many sfx members
have created their own artwork that you are free to use. If you need
buttons and banners in languages other than English, see our
International Gallery.
* If you participate regularly in a forum or bulletin board
on the web, put your Firefox link or button in your signature or as
your avatar.
* Include your Firefox link in your profile for your
favorite instant messaging client (e.g. AOL Instant Messenger, MSN
Messenger, etc.).
* Put your Firefox link in your e-mail signature.
Linking, however, is just a start. Our users have come up with
many other novel ways to spread the word that don't require you to
leave your computer.
* Use eye-catching Firefox wallpaper on your desktop.
* Help convince others to download Firefox. Rate and review
us at c|net download.com, BetaNews (Windows Mac Linux) and other
popular download sites that offer Firefox.
However, the best way to spread Firefox is to spread it beyond
the computer, in the "real world".
* Pass out flyers or leave a stack of them in your school's
computer cluster, at the gym, at the library, or in your breakroom at
work.
* Get the Firefox poster and put it on your dorm or office wall.
* Spread the Firefox stickers!
* Wear the Firefox t-shirt as often as human standards of
cleanliness allow.
* Give a loved one the gift of Firefox.
Donations are also very much appreciated and are used entirely
to fund the development and promotion of Firefox. You can also join
and participate in a number of different teams.
And when you've done all of those things, tell your friends
about sfx so they can, too!"
