Firefox Holding Contest For Support Screencasts. Brilliant Idea.
I have to say, whoever came up with the idea to hold a contest for the best screencasts for Firefox support, deserves a big, fat, raise. It’s really an interesting idea and it gets people who love Firefox a chance to have their work out there to help other Firefox users. Why do I think the brains behind this operation deserves a raise? Well, because they just saved their company a bunch of time and money. To top it all off, contestants have to use Firefox 3, so they just got that many more people to download the newest version of Firefox.
As for the contest details, there are few requirements. You need to use Firefox 3, it must be flash based, and you can’t include audio. They have a list of the top 100 support articles that you need to choose from, and from there you just need to be creative and stay on topic. The top submissions will win a T-shirt designed especially for this contest (I want one) and the grand prize winner will receive a shiny new flip video camera. So bust out your favorite screencasting software and start making those screencasts!
