New AmiZilla Marketing Campaign Launched
A new AmiZilla marketing campaign has been launched. Companies and websites
that link to and promote the Dream of Netscape/Mozilla on Amiga get listed
and promoted. Top Zilla Marketers are the ones that promoted AmiZilla first
or come up with a very creative and interesting banner or animation for the
project.
What is AmiZilla?
I think that long time Amiga user Twistin'Ghost summarizes the project best
with the following press release he created. "In need of that killer app,
Amiga developer and resident platform fanatic Bill Panagouleas, of DiscreetFX,
is banding together the community in a bid to lure programmers to port
Mozilla to the Amiga platform. Donations are flowing in, an FAQ is in place,
and a devoted Message Board are all a part of this 'homegrown' project.
Panagouleas has put his money where his mouth is by donating $2000 out of
his own pocket, in addition to funding the site itself.
"It's this very kind of grassroots community involvement that has helped
to maintain the Amiga's status as a player in the Gen-IT realm," says
Panagouleas, a former employee of Commodore Business Machines. "(Amiga
users) have always been a tight-knit community that pulls together in
times of need. Some very impressive development talent are already making
inquiries and are showing great enthusiasm. I'm very excited."
The presence of Mozilla on the Amiga would provide additional voltage to
Amiga Inc.'s upcoming launch of its new Amiga OS 4.0. It will also help
users the Keep the Dream Alive by running a standards compliant mainstream
browser on MorphOS, Amiga Forever, WinUAE, Amithlon, and Classic Amiga's
running Amiga OS 3.9 ." Please keep the donations coming in so programmers
will be motivated to port Mozilla to Amiga/Amiga type systems.
