Help YWS! Download Firefox 3.0!

To download Firefox 3.0, simply click on the "Firefox 3" button on the front page; it's right above the featured stories & poems. So how does this help YWS? Honestly, not that much. But you see, I've signed YWS up in the affiliate program at: http://www.spreadfirefox.com Over at Spread Firefox, they have a counter of the top referrers. The top 5 are in the thousands, but the bottom of the top 250 is only in the sixties. As of this morning, YWS had 35 referrals, so we only need 25 more to momentarily be one of the top 250. Cool, right? So why should you use Firefox? Oh, how to count the ways... Computer Randomly Shuts Down: Lets say your computer shuts down while you are in the midst of typing an e-mail or replying to a post. Firefox saves what you were typing. Thousands of Add-ons: Adblock Plus blocks annoying ads everywhere, the weather toolbar displays your weather, and you can change how you want your Firefox to look with tons of themes. Only thing I ask is that if you get adblock plus, please turn it off for YWS :) The Internet Runs Faster: For most sites, FF and IE run about the same. But if the site requires lots of Java; such as Flickr, Facebook, MySpace; the difference between FF and IE is astounding. Bookmarking Is Easy: To bookmark a site in Firefox 3, you just click a little star in the address bar. That's it. Searching Bookmarks and History is Easy: In the past, you had to remember the domain name to type it into the address bar. But now, you only have to remember the name of the site. For me, if I want to reach YWS, I just type writers into the address bar. If you still don't want to download Firefox 3, read these: Browser Speeds Why You Should Download Firefox 3 Right Now Top Firefox 3 Extensions That last one is a good one to check out for all Firefox users.

Just a quick note, but this is surprising: Firefox is very close to being more popular than Internet Explorer on YWS. In fact, the difference is only 41 visits out of 1359 between the two for July 1.

This is a huge change, and it comes from 1 out 7 YWS Internet Explorer users making the switch to Firefox 3 over the past week. In fact, half of all current Firefox 3 users on YWS used to be Internet Explorer users since most Firefox 2 users still have not made the switch.

Remember when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth and your mom was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a car game. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and good byes only meant tomorrow? And we couldn't wait to grow up.
