What is Digg?126 Comments
- Hellmark, on 10/12/2007, -9/+77You obviously know nothing of comments. Its purely in the source, and never gets compiled.
- l0ne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+68The IP belongs to the mozilla.com domain. So, no.
- Haroldx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+59I was wondering how our names would be included in the source code, and I read the FAQ
"How will our names be included in Firefox 2?
If both you and your friend opt-in to have your names included, we’ll add your names to an interactive Firefox friends display that will be accessible from within Firefox 2. "

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+47Man, these guys really come up with ncie promotional ideas. I am an Opera users, I wish Opera could come up with promotional plans like Fx. People basically just love to see their name. This should draw in more users
- ericab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33This would be cool if I hadn't already switched everybody I could possibly send this to.
- bacirriu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Everything's ubuntu themed :-)
- freakofnature, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19Mm.. September 15, my birthday. Digg!!
- fiftycents, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Opera has some great features and I really like the interface (and yes firefox did copy a lot of that), but it seems to have some serious functionality issues... especially bad for a program thats been around for so long.
Firefox is just more solid. - jzahra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12-----------------------------------------------------

Hey folks -
We're working on fixing this issue. We've put the site back behind a password login until we get it resolved. We know what the problem is, we just need to get it fixed.

Taken from the following url: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/24241#comment - worbd, on 10/12/2007, -20/+32"the only thing opera is good for is as a mobile browser"
Oh, so that's why it is smaller (despite being more functional), faster and more secure than Firefox on the desktop...
Seriously, I'm not bashing Firefox here, but basically calling Opera useless on PCs is pretty lame, especially since Firefox keeps copying Opera's features. Just look at the feature list for FF 1.5 - most of those were copies from Opera. Look at the close button on tabs in 2.0 - copied from Opera. Even popup blocking, the search field, etc. were copied from Opera.
"firefox has done way more spreading than opera...probably because there is not much to talk about."
Talk about what? Firefox 1.0 was released free of charge at the exact right time - when everyone was complaining about IE. Opera had ads, so most people just went with Firefox, and of course Mozilla was wise to hire professional PR people to market the heck out of Firefox. Opera never did any huge advertising campaigns like Mozilla did.
It's got nothing to do with the quality of the product. It's got to do with marketing. Opera is primarily a tech company. The Mozilla Corporation does marketing. Yes, they have developers, but they know that marketing is what leads to success. - Eldoo77, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Plus if Opera did this, all four of you could get your name put in the new version of Opera!
- natmaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Why do articles on FF and O always start flame wars between both camps?? They are BOTH good browsers! Get over your insecurities!
- amonthei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Wow, is this the worst sampling of Digg users ever?
You all should know this will not affect the size or performance of Firefox at all and they are not a for profit organization wanting to sell your email addresses. - jdkane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11If the names are in the source code comments loading time will never be affected because the names do not exist in the compiled version. If time is added anywhere, it's during the development compile/build process when the long comment (hopefully long) will be stripped out.
- computerdude33, on 10/12/2007, -5/+155. ???
6. Profit! - ErrandboyOfDoom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9@ Hellmark
Except they're not comments, you can access them from the compiled program through "an interactive Firefox friends display." - mikevickrocks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10http://duggmirror.com/software/World_Firefox_Day
Anyone else getting 404 error when trying to get to the page, or is it just me? - ElGuano, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Why don't you try a whois first?

NS2.MOZILLA.ORG - yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I convince you to switch to Firefox.
If you are not Firefox user, you switch to Firefox, and you and me can have our name written in Firefox.
If you are already Firefox user, you switch to IE and then switch back to Firefox, and you and me can have our name written in Firefox. - hcl40u, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7How would it make it more bloated? If its in say the Help > About section that certainly won't make your normal browsing any slower right?
- computerdude33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It is the same. I'm using it right now, and it works almost exactly the same as the Windows version. The only real issues are that it's not a Cocoa app (it's Carbon) and that it doesn't have native form elements (buttons, textareas, etc.).
- recover, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Ahh. Obviously most of you guys complain before you even read the damn page.
There will be a dialog accessible from a menu which will QUERY some server for the names, you will be able to search for names and stuff, you won't be included in the Firefox binary code. - Enkhei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7actually, today is also National Ice Cream Day!
http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzz_log/?fr=fp-buzz-more - Giever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I believe that your names will be going into the code, not your email addresses.
- techlinks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Hmm, let me know if you understand my simile.
Firefox is like a TV, a HDTV, with all the inputs you could ever use, and more. You can customize it with any DVD player, set-top box, amp, speaker system or anything else you want. A lot of people love it.
Opera is like a TV, a HDTV, with a built in DVD player and built in "surround" experience. You COULD customize it with some of the above mentioned devices, but that's not what it's meant for. A lot of people love it. - TheWiseFlea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6C'mon guys - this is NOT spam or a scheme. Go to:
http://www.mozilla.org/contribute/
The website originates from here - the Mozilla foundation itself. - Shaggy6ster, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8yes, opera is better straight out of the box. but what people like about FF is how EASY it is to customize with extensions, and the vast amount of extent ions available.
- tweeto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Don't get me wrong - I love Ubuntu, I'm using it right now, but spare some orange for other things... ;-)
- gumby05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Is anyone else getting a password thing?
- caliform, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I filled in two fields two times with names I'd rather not disclose here, and I get a form that I well get messaged at (someone else's email) and the invitation to (someone I don't know and haven't entered) will be confirmed. Err?
- ricodued, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I did the same thing, but with my real application entries (all valid).
Got some dude's .mac account email and his nominee's name, Katie.
Never give out your info my ass. - mikevickrocks, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Hey guys, I just tried using the link from DuggMirror (the one I posted) and everything worked fine. Here's what I filled out.
Nominee's Name - TmacRocks
E-mail - TmacRocks@yahooligans.net (fake)
Your Name/Nickname - mikevickrocks
E-mail - mikevickrocks@hotmail.com (fake)
So, I think everything's going good. And, then I get this. http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/6572/untitled1zi7.png That is nowhere near what I posted for name, informee, etc. I'm not saying this is spam (I don't think it is, I think it could be the DuggMirror link) but I'm just saying be a little cautious. - xaxa, on 10/12/2007, -10/+15But what's to stop a spammer getting all the email addresses once they're in the code?
- thewhitefedora, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The almighty digg has crashed another server on the web. digg.com[the modern ping party]
- Chakz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I've been using Opera 9 for a month or so now. I do have a few problem's with it though. A few minor things don't work, like when I hover over certain images I can't see the comment, and I wish the tabbed browsing bar could go underneath the address bar, like in firefox. I switched from Firefox to Opera because I find it's a lot faster, Firefox just takes too long to load. If anyone knows hot to get that tabbed bar under the address bar, let me know.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The list of names will be commented, thus they will not be compiled.
- haochi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Can you really see the "Read our privacy policy" on the bottom right of the page?
- phoenix3200, on 10/12/2007, -5/+91. Steal underpants.
2. ?
3. Profit! - htls, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yes i get the password thing also
that sucks - hcl40u, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Agreed. I don't see how adding a bunch of names will suddenly cripple a browser.
- bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Can't plain text be archived into like... almost nothing? Wouldn't this be the case? They're not stupid, they have a plan to keep it from bloating the software. If they didn't, they know they'd have a great 1.0 and 2.0 would be the downfall.
- rflint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The caching proxy in front of the WFD site was caching a bit too much, resulting in users receiving the wrong language or confirmation page. Thanks to the reports here, sfx and Bugzilla, the appropriate people were able to fix it up fairly quickly after the first reports started coming in.
Thank you very much to those that made us aware of this potential nightmare! :) - FlyingLlama, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4funny, I did the same as you and got the same.
EXACTLY the same, mbeck etc. So maybe you don't have to worry. - GIFF3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3same thing happened to me. very strange.
- ElGuano, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I tried this, and got a confirmation page that showed somene else's email address and friend's name.
- natmaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Mirror's giving me a slower response than the actual site...
- trod13, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3IN the two some odd years I've been using firefox, Ive only been able to get 5 people to switch. Everyone else i know just feels comfortable with IE for some reason.
- JohnDGeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wouldn't it be better if the names were all on a web page? No problem with the size of code and everyone can see how many people switched to FF.
- gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Anyone know the username and pass?
