What ever happened to the Firefox Email Idea?

Posted by phoenixfox on Mon, 09/03/2007 - 18:11Firefox Marketing Ideas
I know that it is a while ago since the dissapearence but I just
had a brilliant idea, but, when I went on the hunt for the old forum
topic there was no sign that it had ever existed.

Well I think that if the old topic is gone then I will do my
best to get my favourite idea back in the lime light! Now I understand
that there are lots of trademark rules to do with this and I also know
that there  are isuess concerning whether it will be worth while.

BUT! There are many ways to solve these problems! For instance. If
user @firefox cannot be used then try @firefoxfan or @firefoxuser, if
there is no way for mozilla to run this then why not use their partner
google? I mean Google mail is a BIG thing! Lots of its users like
Firefox. And it is partnered with Mozilla!

So what about if Google does not what to loose all of its
promotion via its address? Well then try @firefoxgmail ! There are so
many choices that all sound and look good!

So What has Google actually done for Mozilla? Well to be honest
not that much. Other than helping fund Mozilla all Google has done is
promote Firefox on world Firefox Day and add in the Google toolbar as
standard (oh and promote that too).

So Firefox Email What Ever happened too it? 

People gave up. That is what happened to it! If people give up
on ideas that will help spread firefox even further then is it even
worth considering the continuation of simple but effective ideas? Shall
we just stick to the louder ideas and forget the subliminal ones? The
ones people will notice and go hmm... what is firefox?

I don't think the idea for "@firefox.gmail.com" has been posted yet. Not even on the old topic.




Look at this blog entry... if it becomes outdated.

I'd love to see a web-based email from Firefox.

Honestly, the time couldn't be better, considering how Microsoft's ongoing botched upgrade of MSN Hotmail to "Windows Live Hotmail" has insulted and angered millions of its longtime users who've had their accounts forcibly upgraded to "Windows Live Hotmail," a PR fiasco in terms of bad interface design, slow and memory hogging new animations, and utter disregard for the needs and preferences of core users.

Perhaps saddest of all is how the Microsoft promotion of "Windows Live Hotmail" brags about a huge increase of storage space for users at the very same time it has corrupted and wiped empty millions of saved files in customer mail boxes.

Lord, let there be a Firefox email client so Hotmail users can get away from the incompetence and arrogance of Microsoft.
