At the heart of the open-source revolution | |

Lotus founder Mitch Kabor's success with two open-source software foundations could make Microsoft miserable.
"As an entrepreneur many times over, he hopes he's really getting it right this time." So states half of Mitch Kapor's terse biography on the Open Source Applications Foundation staff page. It's an odd statement, considering that Kapor got it so spectacularly right the first time. In 1982, he co-founded Lotus Development, later acquired by IBM, and co-wrote the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet application commonly credited with spurring the personal computer's conquest of the business world. | ||

AW,
Whatever your connection to "Tribalfusion.com" is for, it's killing your site performance... |
| #2 By 2960 (156.80.64.203) at 1/13/2005 10:19:42 AM |

Actually, I can't tell what site it is. Everytime you go back to the front page it seems the site is accessing a different server.

I am blocking all of the the popular ad sites (all the ones that AW uses) and the front page loads fast for me. I never have a problem with slow access at AW.

We're probably being punished for blocking the Ad sites :)
This is a recent development. Last day or two I think. TL |

| My firefox Adblock extension blocks all adds here including the intellitext or bursttext crap and the site isn't slow for me at all. |

" About 20 min after we wrote those comments the problem got fixed is why your not having a problem."
Umm no. I dont have a problem in general here. I dont see any ads at all and the site performs fine, in general. "According to a survey released Jan. 12 by Web site analytics firm WebSideStory, Mozilla's free Firefox browser has grabbed a 4.6% share over the past six months and seems well on the way to its stated goal of 10%." |

Actually, tgnb, the Jan 12 article published by WebSideStory was their quarterly results. The article that you are alluding to by WebSideStory, was published on 13 December. Here is the link: http://www.websidestory.com/pressroom/pressreleases.html?id=238&ctl=x08x087h2k7v and the quote, "In the one-month period from Nov. 5, 2004 to Dec. 3, 2004, Firefox’s online usage share grew from 3.03 percent to 4.06 percent. "

jdhawk, sorry I forgot to add the link to the story. The article I was alluding to was not published on 13 December 2004. It was an article from yesterday, JANUARY 12, 2005 that actually states "The U.S. adoption rate of Firefox... has nearly tripled over the past month." Find it here:

#9,
I think it's FireFox's blocking of these sites that is actually causing the problem. I don't see it with IE, only FireFox. TL |

| Oh and could you guys at AW please make the fonts a little smaller. Its way too big. |
