Just forwarding a nice little
e-mail I got :-)

Hey everyone,
Today we're starting a Downhill Battle-style campaign to switch users from
Microsoft Internet Explorer (boo!) to Firefox (yeah!). Many have worked on
this noble cause, but we think now's the time to step it up a notch--and get
people paid in the process.
Check it out, and pass it on to friends (especially anybody with a website):
http://www.explorerdestroyer.com
and
http://www.killbillsbrowser.com
Google is offering $1 for every referral to Firefox with Google toolbar. So, we
made a free script that you can install on your website to detect IE and
encourage people to switch. For every user you encourage to switch, you get a
$1.
For some time now, some of us who work on Downhill Battle have been been
thinking about trying to get more aggressive about switching people from
Internet Explorer to the better, open source browser, Firefox. When Google
announced the bait, we figured the time was right to help sites get their
readers to switch. It's very possible to get Internet Explorer down to under
50% of all web browsers. This is the best chance we've ever had.
Today we have two new sites for that campaign. You can go to our first more
serious site to get the script to install on your website and get Google's
money. Check it out:

The second is a parody site. It also tells you why Firefox is worth switching
to. You know how we do. Send it to friends, maybe it'll help convince them to
switch.

So, let's give Internet Explorer that death blow it's been begging for. Get the
script or tell your friends who run websites to get the script.
Let us know how you like it, and please, spread it around.
Enjoy and destroy,
Nicholas, Holmes, Nick, Tiffiniy
