“Make me run”. A Twitter campaign

 

Hello,

My name is Bogomil “Bogo” Shopov.

I just started my own business in the heart of Europe – Prague. I love social media, communities, web technologies and the open web.

I have an idea  how to help me to promote my small company and to make something good for yourself.

It’s easy:

For every re-tweet I receive on a certain tweet:

  • I will run 1 meter  during Prague GrandPrix. (I never ran more than 500 meters in my life. It’s a huge challenge.)
  • I will put your twitter username on a t-shirt and I will run with it. (I may use more than one)
  • I will donate $0.05 to one of the these foundations*:

How to participate?

To be a valid participant to this fun action and to make my fat ass run 10 000 meters, please take just 2 actions:

  1. Retweet this message. (<- click here)
  2. and add as comment here at this blog your twitter username.

That’s it!

*If I get more that 5000 participants, all of you will be able to choose the foundation/charity by voting.

Sponsors

Do you want to join this campaign as a sponsor? Please contact me using the “Contacts” link in the main menu. You can sponsor the little campaign by adding $0.01 (or more) for every tweet AND a tweet from your company account.

Au revoir, Mozilla. Good bye Mozilla!

Note the date. This was published on April 1.

From today I will not be an active Mozilla contributor anymore.

I’ve spent last couple of years contributing to Mozilla project by translating and localizing content, organizing events, migrating businesses and individuals to open web tools like Firefox, Thunderbird and Bugzilla, talking to conferences, universities and user groups in Europe about Freedom and open web and free culture, organizing fund-raising campaigns, supporting couple of forums about Mozilla technologies, evangelizing developers to write addons and jetpacks and many many more thing, but I don’t see my impact:

 

  1. The Firefox is still the slowest browser in the world on my favorite Windows.
  2. The only e-mails i’ve got from Mozilla are about – “donaaaate more moneyyyy, Bogo”
  3. Most of the people within Mozilla doesn’t care about community at all.
  4. Month after month the things community suppose to do are more that previous month. I have to quit my job in order to drive with the same speed as others.
  5. Most of the people in the World still think Google Chrome is a good browser and Google respect their privacy.
  6. They still don’t want to hire me :(

This is enought!

Au revoir Mozilla.

The new feature

The good part of this is thanks to my Mozilla experience I was hired by Microsoft OpenWeb team as a consultant and  I will try to convince Firefox users to download the new Internet Explorer with “The FX migrator” tools – to transfer ALL of your Mozilla data to Microsoft platform, including your Thunderbird and Bugzilla data and to use the new Microsoft Open Web Cloud provider for storing your data.

Au revoir Mozilla and Thanks for making me leave :(
