Rock Your Firefox Featuring Yoono!

Announcements, Press, Yoono in The News Add comments

Rock Your FirefoxAn undeniable component of Yoono’s success is the Mozilla community – its employees, products, and users.  We’re very grateful for their support and continued success over the years as it has translated into a large and growing Yoono user base as well.  Today the Mozilla team is stepping up their consumer marketing efforts with their “Rock Your Firefox” campaign designed to be ” a place for Firefox users to discover cool new add-ons, or just learn what add-ons are all about.” Every week, Mozilla will  feature add-ons and reviews from people around the Web who are using Firefox Add-ons to make their Web experience better.  We’re honored to be featured first!

The Rock Your Firefox wiki page outlines some of the detail of the program but here on our post we wanted to highlight the stated goals:

  • Share at least three add-on reviews a week- every Mon/Wed/Fri
  • Invite the Firefox user community to contribute to Rock Your Firefox via comments, suggestions, or guest blogs
  • Provide add-ons developers with a way to get rich user feedback about their add-ons
  • Provide a consumer-friendly channel for add-on distribution

The last two are of particular interest to us – we’re always trying to gather, analyze and act on as much user feedback as we can get via our support site powered by Get Satisfaction, Twitter, our Facebook Fan Page and more, so we’re looking forward to getting additional feedback from Firefox users.  The last bullet highlights something we’re excited to see the Mozilla team tackling – delivering a consumer friendly channel for add-ons distribution.  The Firefox add-ons directory is fantastic and getting better and better but that said, can be a bit intimidating for the first time user looking to dive (or perhaps tip toe) into the add-ons experience.  The approach of filtering the directory and presenting popular and user friendly add-ons via Rock Your Firefox strikes us as a great next step in expanding the add-ons audience to an even bigger segment of the Firefox user base.

You can follow RockYourFirefox on Twitter to get the latest updates.   Thanks again to the Mozilla team – we’re excited to get even more users rocking their Firefox with Yoono!

    I can't space when leaving comment on Facebook
    Is this a common known problem ?

  • Can you explain in a bit more detail the problem? Thanks!

  • lucentshade

    For example,
    I directly commented on the yonno's facebook
    and the comment is quite long,
    so I want to type like this

    "Haha
    It's so funny"

    But when I done typing "Haha"
    and press enter
    the comments was posted
    but I haven't type "It's so funny."
    I can't space inside it
    Get me ?

    Is it complicated ?
    Or can someone clarify this for me ?
    Thank you

  • Ah, gotcha. Yes, we send your comment on enter so currently there is no "next line" function. We've considered changing enter to a new line and adding a "Send" button - we will assume you would be in favor of that? Some users prefer just being able to hit enter to send rather than having to click, hence the current implementation.

  • I like the current implementation as it saves lot of manual job required to click the Send button - leaving hands off keyboard and on mouse, moving mouse, clicking. It gets annoying. Please implement Shift+ENTER as new line inside messages. This was used by ICQ since the heydays, and other clients as well.

    I think that maybe you guys can make a vote about this one.
    To make sure over 70%~80% of users prefer the comment posting to go like this without too much of reflects ?
    Haha
    Just giving comments,
    Thank you for your attention.

    Regards

  • Yes, a vote's not a bad idea. There's a lot of variation in this implementation on different networks and apps so it's hard. Ideally we'd find what people prefer, make that the default and possibly have an option to change it for others. Thanks for the feedback.

  • Nice to have used it in Firefox: now it's time for Chrome!

  • We've got an alpha version of Yoono for Chrome nearly done - hope to post it here on our blog very very soon! Look forward to your feedback.

  • YooNo is amazing service but you are not catering to markets using non-Latin alphabets. All text entered through YooNo as status messages, etc. is not Unicode. Cyrilic languages cannot post in native cyrilic alphabets, nothing gets posted on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

  • Hey Apostol - agreed we need to do a better job of supporting localization in the product and it's something we definitely want to do. Just a matter of time and resources for us as a small company. Thanks for using the product!
