Happy birthday all!

One suggestion for next campaigns.
I remember reading a vague identi.ca reference in a previous campaign,
but a post ("dent") option is not being included as it's done with
Facebook and Twitter.
As you know, services such as identi.ca*
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMicroBlogging) are more akin to
Mozilla principles and, despite nowadays they still do not have the same
public as the other closed ones, I think we should support them (at
least by providing some links from our promotions).
We should take into account that, when Firefox 1.0 was released, it
represented less than 2% global marketshare but, thanks to the support
and commitment of an increasing number of users and contributors, we are
celebrating this anniversary today.

Tell me if I could help you.

* Many Mozillians are already using this tool
(http://identi.ca/peopletag/mozilla), and there is even a community
Mozilla-centered version of this service (http://mozillaca.com/).

Hi Folks

If you have Identi.ca or Mozillaca accounts you can make your posts to an
Open Microblogging platform alternative to Twitter and configure your
account so that each post is forwarded to Twitter.

Hey Toni and Identi.ca fans: Wanted to loop back and let you know that
we're incorporating Identi.ca onto the mobile pages on mozilla.com and
SFx for the mobile launch.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi Mary,

Don't forget Mozillaca :-)

Best Regards
Paul

[pa...@appcoast.com]

It would be great to see more Mozillians using
Identi.ca , Mozillaca, ..

Warm Regards ( & Merry Christmas to everyone)

Hi Paul: I must admit that I haven't been using my Mozillaca account. My problem is that it's a lot to keep up with -- we're using Facebook, Twitter, Mozillaca, etc to help get the word out on things. Is it possible to sync Twitter and Mozillaca? Let me know :) Would love to streamline!

[FuzzyFox]

There is a connect feature in mozillaca/identica that means any
mozes/dents/tweets are automagically sent to twitter from
mozillaca/identica so you only need to use mozillaca and not worry about
twitter at all!

[pa...@appcoast.com]

@FuzzyFox

Thanks William

@Mary

I'll research what can be done w.r.t synchronizing identi.ca & twitter
as i can see that will
be a important question for a lot of tweeters.

FYI

The main idea we have (perhaps as part of a mozilla Drumbeat campaign)
is to promote to anyone
who is using Firefox,.. to post their 'tweets' to identi.ca and have
identi.ca forward them to
twitter so that we effectively demote twitter to a "read only"
microblog for users supporting
the "open web" and this campaign could run until twitter opened up to
identi.ca,.. .

Our big idea is that some day we would have Mozilla running their own
version of identi.ca
that exists primarily to support the Mozilla community and anyone who
supports the open
web. "Mozillaca" is our 6 month effort to give everyone a chance to see
what this could be like.

Best, Paul
