Help spread Opera Mini’s reach: MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and more

Published June 19th, 2007 8:02 AM EDT By Daniel Goldman

With today’s launch of Opera Mini 4 beta, we need to make sure that as many people as possible hear about Opera Mini.

Help revolutionize the mobile web, and help bring an end to WAP world. You can do this by spreading the word of Opera Mini. Log into the social networks (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, My Opera, or whatever) and make it known that you’re using Opera Mini to browse the web on your mobile phone.

If you have a blog, write about your experiences with the new beta. On MySpace, send your friends a bulletin about the beta release, or leave comments on their profiles. Even better, leave comments using Opera Mini and mention that you’re doing so. On Facebook and Twitter, update your status to say that you’re joining the Mobile Web Revolution by downloading and using Opera Mini. Post links to download Opera Mini on your Facebook posted items page.

    I posted an editorial about it on my site:

    I do think this is bigger news than the iPhone, since it’s available now, for free, to any of the billions of Java cellphones worldwide, but let’s see how much time CNN or the NYT devotes to it.

About Opera


Q: What is Opera?
A: Opera is one of the most powerful Web browsers around. A Web browser is the program that allows you to view Web pages. Opera is well known for innovation for PC browsers and bringing the full web to mobile phones and devices.

Q: Is Opera free?
A: Absolutely free.

Q: Why should I download a browser? Doesn't my computer already come with one for free?
A: It's about getting more out of the time you spend on the internet. Opera is designed to be much faster than these browsers and gives you powerful features that the default browser lacks. Default browsers like Internet Explorer are also more likely to be subjected to dangerous software such as viruses and spyware.

Q: Will Opera keep me safe from fraudulent websites and malicious hackers?
A: According to Secunia, a respected firm that tracks security in browsers, Opera has the best reputation and track record when it comes to browser security. Keeping our users safe from security vulnerabilities, fraudulent websites, and malicious hackers is a top priority for Opera. Opera is maintained by hundreds of engineers, developers and security experts who are constantly looking to make the browser even safer.

Q: Doesn't Opera copy all of their features from other browsers?
A: Absolutely not. In fact, many of the features that are popular in other browsers today were invented and pioneered by Opera a long time ago. Opera invented the precursor to tabs (in 1994), Page Zoom (1994), was the first browser to block pop-up ads (2000), first to add a Search field in the browser toolbar (2000), Sessions (1996), deleting private data (2000), Mouse Gestures (2000), User JavaScript (2005), BitTorrent support (2005), Widgets (2006), Speed Dial (2007), and much more.

Q: Does Opera support extensions, such as those found in Firefox?
A: Much of the functionality provided through Firefox extensions is already built directly into Opera, so you don't have to download additional extensions in Opera. In addition, Opera is highly customizable and supports all standard plug-ins.

Q: Can I also use Opera on my mobile phone?
A: Yes. And your Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS or almost any connected device and mobile phones. Opera Mobile oftens comes preinstalled from the manufacturers, but if it doesn't you can install Opera Mini which runs on nearly all phones.

Q: This all sounds great, so how do I download Opera?
A: -- Opera on your computer
-- Opera Mini on your phone
-- Opera Mobile on your phone
