Firefox is one of those great success stories. They shouldn’t have ever made it, but they did. They entered a business (browsers and email programs) which is incredibly competitive both in terms of programming, but also in terms of marketing.
I mean, would you want to compete with Microsoft and Google?
I wouldn’t, but then again my wine of the month club is competing with names like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and even Sunset Magazine. I guess that doesn’t make for an easy entry point into the market either.
What I take from Firefox and from Mozilla is that through technology small companies have an opportunity to fight against much larger competitors. That’s what I’m hoping to do.
