You might have already seen them, but we created these pages with the idea of giving site visitors a better understanding MoCo, MoFo and the community in general:

If you get a chance, let me know what you think.

Although I can see the wisdom of the points on both sides, after reading through everyone’s thoughts we’ve decided to switch to the Firefox.com URL from now on (starting with all the new shirts coming to the Community Store – details: http://musingt.com/?p=30).

It’s always great to get our amazing community’s input…thanks again!

But if we have thing.com, we should just use it, for the win.

(BTW. paint.net is similar to what used to be at firefox.com, no?)

Another thing I like about GetFirefox.com is that it implies certain things that may not be obvious to those of us who have used or even heard of Firefox: for someone who has literally no idea what Firefox is, if they see the FF3 T-shirt contest winner, they might think it has a cool design, but the shirt doesn’t actually tell them what Firefox is. At least with GetFirefox.com, it’s evident that Firefox is indeed something to be “gotten”, as opposed to e.g. a service that’s subscribed to (“GetFlickr.com” doesn’t make much sense) or an ad agency or a restaurant.

I don’t think which URL has been used in the past matters at all – we’re not talking about removing either URL, we are talking about promoting the products to new users.

I prefer GetFirefox.com, as an action-oriented URI but I have to say that, as a french guy (and don’t blame me ^^), Firefox.com is more “multilingual”. For many people, Firefox is like a brand, unless “Get” means nothing for them. Actually, I think that the major part of the population firefox has to seduce could be the part that doesn’t really understand english, so we have to think about them, and try to make the marketing around firefox more “multi”. I hope you understood my ideas.

Bye!
