Mozilla has updated their featured add-ons list, and Shareaholic is now on the featured list on Mozilla’s official add-ons directory! Hoooraayy!!

What does this mean for Shareaholic? More exposure, resulting in a bigger user & feedback community. According to Basil Hashem, the directory currently receives about 5 million pageviews per day with approximately 3% of the traffic to the recommended list.

None of this would be possible without your support. A BIG BIG thank you to Mozilla, and our users for supporting, using, and believing in Shareaholic.

A couple of months ago, Shareaholic was picked as one of Songbird’s 40 most community-requested add-ons - “…highly desirable to the Songbird community…”

When the community asks, we give. So we went to work, and we’re pleased to announce that Shareaholic now fully supports Songbird!

What do Garrett Camp (founder, StumbleUpon), Brendan Eich (CTO, Mozilla and creator of JavaScript), Jesse James Garrett (president, Adaptive Path), Tariq Karim (founder, NetVibes), and Joshua Schachter (founder, del.icio.us) have in common?

They were all part of the tech celebrity judge panel that picked Shareaholic as a Grand Prize winner of Extend Firefox 2, a Mozilla sponsored contest for the best Firefox extensions!

The winners were announced last week. Three Firefox extensions, including Shareaholic (!!), were named Grand Prize winners after being selected from a list of more than 100 submissions.

About Extend Firefox 2:

Extend Firefox is a developer contest to encourage development and innovation in Web experience through add-ons to Firefox 2.

All entries were judged and scored by a panel of experts based upon excellence in: (a) User Experience (30%); (b) Creativity (30%); (c) Platform Leverage (15%); (d) Technical Correctness (15%); (e) Open Source and Use of Standards (10%).

Check out Mozilla’s official announcement and rest of the winners and runners up here.

The grand prizes are awesome, but we are very much more excited about how many more people will now find out about Shareaholic as a result of winning the contest, and the resulting momentum. If you don’t already have Shareaholic, you can get it here.

A big thank YOU for supporting, using, and believing in Shareaholic. Much more to come

A couple of days ago, David and I decided that it was time to put up an about us page for Bzzster.

Though not everyone wants to know more about us, and it is probably the last page that most people will visit, we don’t want to disappoint those who do want to know more about the people, idea and values behind Bzzster and Shareaholic.
