Voting is Serious Business

May 1, 2011 (approximate) · by .ed

Did we ever mention that the Internet is serious business? No? Well, Fox Business thinks it is, and we tend to agree.

They've got a poll going right now about what your favorite browser is, and we think you should have a say!

The article is about differentiating features, but there's no mention of Opera Turbo, Tab Stacking, or our attractive employees.

Show Fox Business what's up, vote Opera in their poll so they get the details right next time!

:flirt:

    Hates Fox News and their right wing agenda

  • D1sasterp1ece15. April 2011, 22:31

    I already voted (guess what I chose :p: )
    Opera is growing strong in this poll, it had way less votes when I first opened that page.

  • Cutting Spoon15. April 2011, 22:36

    Fox Business News knows what Serious Business is. Serious like the Bagger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dImzkEA7yQs You can't tell me that's not Serious Business.

    Maybe we can make them report on Opera Space Edition?

    I'm sorry, but you cannot go any lower than a Fox "Business" poll. This one's not worth it. Something else please.

    Because this is a type of marketing activity which helps raise awareness about Opera. Other people voting in these polls will go "WTF is this Opera thing? It gets a lot of votes, so maybe I should try it out!"

  • KlausHoll17. April 2011, 12:06

    Opera is a leader for now)
    Vote and help Opera to win!)

    It's difficult to see major news companies get the details wrong about Opera, or skip over our features in a post about key features like this one. By sharing their post with our users, encouraging them to coment or vote to show support for their favorite browser as they put it, I hope they will do their part and research our browser before posting the most basic features next time. If we win their poll, they might say "hey, what the heck? We should look into Opera a bit more..."

  • Cutting Spoon18. April 2011, 02:39

    Maybe there should be a "Hundred Thousand Fists" blog...? For dealing with the major mistakes in reporting.

  • Charles Schloss18. April 2011, 03:18

    They missed a lot about Opera

  • Cutting Spoon18. April 2011, 03:27

    Actually they missed pretty much everything. Just stole a couple lines from someone's regurgitation of an older Opera Press Release (ca 10.50...?). And stated them with "opera says"...

    To add insult to injury.

  • Jim19. April 2011, 06:28

    Opera: 57.85%
    Firefox: 28.27%
    Chrome: 7.51%
    Internet Explorer: 4.8%
    Safari: 1.57%

    It's interesting how we are all motivated to jump on these polls, it reminds me of 4chan. :cheers:

  • Utkarsh19. April 2011, 09:34

    OMGFact: Those 1.57% of the votes belonging to Safari were done by Steve Jobs using Opera by switching UserAgent. lol :smile:

    This poll has obviously been influenced but I don't care; after using & testing Opera under Windows OS & Linux OS for 1,5 years I can't think of any better browser...
