Smart Marketing, Dumb Marketing

July 31st, 2007 by Leons Petrazickis

My Firefox upgraded itself and I saw this:

Smart Marketing

Ah, the Firefox crowd is encouraging casual users to discover Firefox extensions. Firefox extensions are a great way to get people addicted to Firefox. That’s pretty smart.

Dumb Marketing

And, naturally, the extension that the casual crowd needs most is Firebug. Not an extension for music, or photos, or weather. An extension for web development. That’s pretty dumb.
