We Have Awesome Interns
Last Friday, Firefox surged past one billion total downloads, which is totally amazing and mind-blowing.
Another cool thing about the milestone is onebillionplusyou.com, which was organized by our summer marketing interns, Shannon Prior, William Reynolds, Irina Sandu and Jeff Zeller. In addition to the site itself, which nicely ties in the significance of one billion not just for Firefox but for the web as a whole, there are two subtle underlying messages I like:
1. We have awesome interns, no doubt about it.
2. Internships at Mozilla provide the opportunity to do interesting, high profile, meaningful work…not just low level stuff or running errands (and that applies across the company, not just in marketing).
(And none of this is meant to overlook the amazing work on this from WebDev, QA, IT and l10n, each of whom deserve their own post for their consistent excellence at pretty much everything.)
