You can be part of history.
Mozilla has an excellent viral marketing campaign going with the download day. I have been reading about this for a while now and it seems to be taking off. Promotions like this are the new method of advertising in the Internet Age. If they used traditional ads how many people would really care? But get people involved, make it seem like they will be part of a movement and they will step on their grandmothers to get to the front of the line.
This psychology is part of the reason that social networking sites are so popular. You see a large crowd and assume that there must be something of value there. You set up your page and declare 'I am somebody too!'. No longer an individual you take your place as part of the undifferentiated masses.
So go ahead and be one of the masses for a good cause. Open source promotes an open society free from corporate control. It is also a chance to promote Bahrain. Currently we have only 356 pledges as of this posting. Can't we get it over 400 or even 500?
Everyone who signs the pledge and actually downloads will get another two points extra credit. If you do it post a comment to this post and I will look for your name on the site.
Go ahead and join the movement and get lost in the massive crowd. Be somebody by being nobody.

Mr. Bailey I pledged and I will do it. I did not do it for the marks but I would very much appreciate it if you gave me the marks (consider that I am the first one Sir). I don't know how you can check that I did or how I can prove that I did, but I swear that I pledged. Thank You.
I pledge to download firefox 3. Since I already use firefox why not download one that has better feature, with more than 15,000 improvements, Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than before.
I pledge to do so on Download day!!!
features*, with more than 15,000 improvements, faster, smarter, safer than before.
I was beta testing Firefox 3 and it looked great and the interface is much more better and easier to use. I pledged to download it on the 17th and I sent everyone I know an invitation for pledging. Firefox is the best browser ever! So why not let anyone download it!!
Tomorrow is download day :D
I'm gonna participate in the downloads first thing after the exam :)
It's the ITGS exam too. Coincidence?
This is Ali Abdulaal btw :P
I Abdulrahman Rashed Ahmed Alnaar pledge to get Firefox 3 during Download Day to set the Guinness World Record for Most Software Downloaded in 24 Hours.
And as proof Mr. Bailey go to my blog at http://www.alnaar.blogspot.com/ to view my full statement and the widget I kept alongside the banner!! I have viewers in Spain who read my blog therefore your message is international now!! :D I'm so glad that I got rid of internet explorer once and for all!
