Boca Raton, Florida (WiredPRNews.com) — Mozilla software developers have a reason to boast and to celebrate. Why? In only 5 hours, the latest version of the Firefox web browser was downloaded as many times as its former version received during its first day online. Firefox 3 was downloaded by more than 1.6 million users on Tuesday evening to match the first-day downloads of Firefox 2.

Idea Shower states how this idea was born:

I found that during the day (and especially at work), that I would run into sites and articles that I wanted to read, but couldn’t at that time. Mostly, I would just send the link to myself via email, and in the end, they would never get read because I’d lose it in my inbox. I needed a simple way to keep track of the things I wanted to read, but didn’t want to bookmark (at least not at first).
