Find out which country is spending on what!

NYTimes had a great piece recently on what do people spend on. Their data visualization method is superb, and you quickly learn that Americans spend a lot (if you did not already know that)! India is way behind!

How people spend their discretionary income – the cash that goes to clothing, electronics, recreation, household goods, alcohol – depends a lot on where they live. People in Greece spend almost 13 times more money on clothing as they do on electronics. People living in Japan spend more on recreation than they do on clothing, electronics and household goods combined. Americans spend a lot of money on everything.

Mozilla is currently running a “Firefox in your country” survey to better understand how users are using Firefox around the world. The survey is available at:

Firefox in your country – Survey

The survey will take just two minutes to complete. But will go a long way in improving Firefox! It revolves around your use of Firefox and how we can get more people use Firefox.

The survey is coming to an end this Friday!! And we need more participation from India.  Mozilla Foundation will be using this information to make better decisions in the future about how to grow Firefox and Mozilla in India.

I request you to go ahead and fill it up! Make the world a better place by people getting a better browser!
