Ahh, the power of marketing. Mozilla has announced that they've officially been added to the Guinness World Records for most downloads in a 24-hour period. The final tally: 8,002,530 downloads of Firefox 3 back on June 18th.
From Gareth Deaves, Records Manager for Guinness World Records:
Now, only two weeks later, the total number of downloads tops 28 million. Mozilla has published this map showing penetration around the globe:
"As the arbiter and recorder of the world's amazing facts, Guinness World Records is pleased to add Mozilla's achievement to our archives. Mobilizing over 8 million internet users within 24 hours is an extremely impressive accomplishment and we would like to congratulate the Mozilla community for their hard work and dedication."
