I really want to reach out to the web and share some of the awesome things that are happening within the <a href="http://addons.mozilla.org">Mozilla add-ons community</a> and in looking at tools that I&apos;ve used successfully in the past, I&apos;d really have to single out Twitter as being the top medium for getting the word out.


<div style="float:right"><a href="http://twitter.com/mozamo"><img src="/images/mozamo.jpg" border="0"></a></div>

So taking a cue from my work with the jQuery project, I&apos;ve created a new Twitter account called <a href="http://twitter.com/mozamo">@mozamo</a> which will allow me to reach out to new and existing add-on users and developers in the hopes of providing as much useful information as possible. The hard part about using Twitter though is that getting a following tends to be driven mainly by word-of-mouth, hence the reason that I wanted to blog about it and make sure that the readers of my blog knew about this new resource.

I really do find that most people truly underestimate the Mozilla add-ons ecosystem and don&apos;t understand the breadth of investment that goes into making a successful add-ons. While many are developed by hobbyist, there&apos;s also a growing number of companies that are relying heavily on the Mozilla platform for the success of their business. It&apos;s been a real eye-opening experience interacting with these developers and I&apos;m hoping that by broadcasting lots of information out, I can help to motivate more developers to participate in creating extensions that will make the Mozilla experience that much better.

So couple this with our <a href="http://addons.mozilla.org/newsletter">Mozilla about:addons newsletter</a> and I think we&apos;re providing some very good methods of getting the word out.

If you have other suggestions for reaching the add-ons audience, I&apos;m all ears and would love to hear your suggestions.
