The war on terror, or Internet Explorer 6, started in our neighboring country: Norway. For once they’ve actually come up with something good and it caught on. Wired wrote about it yesterday, Swedens largest news site Aftonbladet and the largest IT site IDG.se added the IE6 warning today. This of course was something we discussed at work along with the Piratebay trial. I think we can all agree that IE6 comes pretty close after war, religion and toilets that won’t flush on our “things we dislike”-list. Of course we wanted to do our part and help this war on terror and fortunately for us Gunilla Matsson from Svenskfast.se was at our office. We quickly explained what the IE6 warning was all about and she wanted Svensk Fastighetsförmedling to be a part of it too. Not only is it a great cause, it’s also great for publicity! Svenskfast.se is Swedens ~30th most visited site.

To join the war, go to jardenberg.se and get your own warning snippet. Read more about it on mindpark.se, Wired, the site where it all started finn.no and Microsoft Norway is positive to the campaign.

I promise to post statistics on the effect of this campaign in a week or so. Let’s hope the rest of the world joins the war too!
