Mozilla Starts Big Collection of Open Web Tools
Mozilla has launched a new directory with the goal of providing a one-stop shop for open web tools and resources for developers. It is called the Open Web tools Directory.

Mozilla’s Marketing Misfire

The theme of the campaign is Fight Against Boredom, suggesting that IE is a boring option. Here’s a line to give you the idea of the 70s goofy feel of the campaign’s song (Rise Up! Rise Up!). The world is such a great big place with so much to do. You can ski, eat green eggs, ride bikes, or start a coupe.
