According to data from StatCounter, Mozilla's web browser Firefox 3.5 is now the world's most popular browser. It has just surpassed Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7, which has beend steadily declining.

For December 20, StatCounter has IE 7 at 21.2% market share, and Firefox 3.5 at 21.93%. Microsoft's IE 8 is closing in though. Its share has been steadily increasing, presumably making up for most of the lost IE 7 share, and has approached 20.33%.

The top browsers are as follows:

1. Firefox 3.5
2. IE 7
3. IE 8
4. IE 6
5. Firefox 3.0
6. Other
7. Safari 4.0
8. Firefox 2.0
9. Opera 9.6

Last month Mozilla celebrated the fifth birthday of the Firefox browser. They said that in the first four days of launch, over a million people downloaded Firefox 1.0. Firefox is available in over 70 languages and offers over 7,000 add-ons.

Firefox 3.5 also had over a million down/> [...]

As I've mentioned earlier in posts this week, I'm currently up in Boulder, Colorado for Startup Week, a week-long smorgasbord of startup events organized by Andrew Hyde of TechStars. It's been my first time visiting Boulder, and to be completely honest, I've been blown away by its close-knit friendly community of startups, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and more. I had always heard that Boulder was a very unique atmosphere for entrepreneurship, but I had no idea just how special this place was until I was invited to come visit.

Part of the reason I think Boulder has such a closely bonded community is that the entire downtown area is no larger than a few square miles. There are hundreds of startups located in and around Boulder, and their proximity to one another creates an amazing sense of solidarity throughout the city. When a new startup launches in Boulder, the entire town gets behind it to provide a base of enthusiastic early adopters.

Groups of designers, developers and founders are constantly meeting-up and sharing ideas and advice for each other's companies. Tuesday night, the Boulder New Tech Meetup became a standing-room only event, and tonight's Ignite Boulder will fill the Boulder Theater with the equivalent of 1% of the entire city's population.

These are just a few of the valuable reasons why startups should think about moving to Boulder to launc/> [...]

There are lots of things you have to answer more than once as a business (or even as an individual). In the book Trust Agents, Julien and I write about “putting it on paper,” which means using the web to leverage the “answer once, share often” kinds of advice and information that people might need from you. I do this more and more often.

Here are a few examples of “stock” answers I share with people often:

• What do you do? – http://bit.ly/cbbio
• Where can I learn more about your speaking? – http://chrisbrogan.com/connect
• How do you follow 108,000 people? – http://www.chrisbrogan.com/how-to-manage-twitter/
• Where can I buy Trust Agents? – http://bit.ly/buy-ta
• How do I start listening? – http://www.chrisbrogan.com/grow-bigger-ears-in-10-minutes/
• Do you ever sleep? – http://www.chrisbrogan.com/no-i-dont-sleep/

You can do this yourself. There are probably tons of things people ask you repeatedly. What would your stock answers be?

Google Fast Flip Gets More Publications

Share |

Update: Google announced that it now has 2 dozen more publishers representing over 50 publications on board the Google Fast Flip train (which is still in experiment status). New sources include Tribune Co. newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, McClatchy Company newspapers such as the Miami Herald and the Kansas City Star, the Huffington Post, Popular Science, Reuters, Public Radio International, POLITICO and U.S. News & World Report.

Original Article: For being nothing more than a "labs" project for Google, Fast Flip has received an overwhelming amount of attention as well as criticism. In case you have been under a rock, Fast Flip is a lab Google launched, that has been talked about before under its codename, "Flipper."

What it does is let you "flip" through news articles on the web, as you would do with a magazine. In Google's words, "Fast Flip is a new reading experience that combines the best elements of print and online articles. Like a print magazine, Fast Flip lets you browse sequentially through bundles of recent news, headlines and popular topics, as well as feeds from individual top publishers."

Google partnered with the New York Times, the Atlantic, th/> [...]
