So after dropping out of Google’s AdSense program, they rolled out this FireFox bounty scheme.
I’m convinced it will not make me a thin dime, but I like the idea of advocating for something like an open, unowned Web and if it makes sense to do that with a consistent visual message, that’s fine.
It’s a lot like how I see personal weblogs in the blogosphere: Technorati be damned, I think link ranking is a useful metric. It can be abused, sure, but you can sift that out when you look at the referring links.
If you’re still using Internet Explorer, try something else. Mac users haven’t been forced to use it as their default for quite some time, but Windows users have some choices. FireFox deserves a look, even if you have horrible memories of Netscape products (this isn’t one, of course, and shares no code with that old trainwreck).
