Year of Firefox: Right On Schedule

Year of Firefox: Right On Schedule 09/16/2004 10:29 PM

I write back in February:

I predict that Firefox browser marketshare will be near 20% by end of year 2004.  It's that good and getting better.

And browser marketshare numbers so far:

2004	IE 6	IE 5	O 7	Moz	NN 3	NN 4	NN 7
September	68.3%	6.5%	2.5%	17.7%	0.2%	0.2%	1.3%
August	70.3%	7.0%	2.3%	15.5%	0.3%	0.3%	1.4%
July	71.0%	7.7%	2.3%	13.8%	0.3%	0.3%	1.4%
June	72.4%	8.3%	2.3%	11.8%	0.3%	0.3%	1.4%
May	72.6%	9.2%	2.2%	11.0%	0.3%	0.3%	1.4%
April	72.4%	10.1%	2.1%	10.3%	0.3%	0.3%	1.4%
March	72.1%	10.7%	2.1%	9.6%	0.4%	0.4%	1.4%
February	71.5%	11.5%	2.2%	9.0%	0.4%	0.4%	1.5%
January	71.3%	12.8%	2.1%	8.2%	0.4%	0.5%	1.5%

Actual marketshare of Firefox is less than the 17.7% because this statistic does not distinguish between Mozilla and Firefox.  My guestimate for actual Firefox marketshare is 12~14%.

So it looks like my prediction is still on track.

Paddling Out to Catch the Enterprise Wave

"From the shore, they look like tiny dots slowly making their way out past the breakers. They're the software vendors positioning themselves to catch the Enterprise RSS wave. My, that's a lot of tiny dots...." [MoonWatcher]
RSS was big in 2004, but next year is going to be something else. It's killing me that I can't say more, but I know of two major library vendors that will make big announcements about RSS in 2005. It's going to be a fun year!

Wow. What a long time it has been since I last posted to plasticbag.org. And what have I done in the meantime? I've been back to Norfolk to see my family, experienced the wonders of Christmas, seen Return of the King, watched ten hours of videos with my little brother, watched the snow come down and get washed away, struggled through lots of music television, had my first frank conversation with my little brother about being gay, opened and given lots of gifts, battled back to London via bus and train, gone back to work for a few days before late-night driving off to Cornwall for New Year with a selection of friends and friends of friends wherein was had much late-night drinking, (indoor) swimming, fondue-ing, walks in the wet and the dark, eating of beef and roaming around. Since I last posted I've travelled about eight hundred miles in total, including trips to Penzance for shopping, Newquay for boots and Bath for Sally Lunn's. I've driven through Indian Queens, passed by Splatt and circumnavigated Pityme. I've also read a lot of The Social Life of Information (more on how much I want to burn that particular waste of headspace later), thought a lot about Tivo and Social Software, played a lot of Knights of the Old Republic and both been bought and bought for others some of the most wonderfully entertaining porcelain cups I've ever seen. All in all, an eventful and entertaining couple of weeks.

Next up is trying to get my head together to start a new project at work (interesting one this - should have really positive, interesting and coincidentally weblog-friendly effects on BBC Radio sites), trying to assemble my thoughts for a conference at Olympia in a couple of month's time, trying to work out whether to propose a participant session for this year's ETCon (which I'm still hoping I'm going to attend), while apparently also trying to score maximum points on self-created, self-destructive and highly non-fun-for-all-the-family games like, "How quickly and effectively can I alienate everyone I work with?", "Be an arse!" and "How fat, weird and bearded can one man become?". What did you guys get up to?

Firefox 1.0 is finally here. For those who have been following it's progress, it's been a long time coming. But your work is not done yet. Because it is now safe to recommend Firefox to non-geeks. Please do so. They need your help. Think of the children. The Mozilla servers are currently getting hammered, but you can grab the installer in a few seconds using the torrents: Win 32 Firefox 1.0 Torrent Linux i686 Firefox 1.0 Torrent When you live on the west coast and stroll on into work at 10am, you usually miss these types of early morning announcements. I actually heard about it on the radio this morning. Then I hit the snooze button. Oh yeah, check out the new default start page.
