5 million members!

Monday, July 19, 2010 2:45:27 PM

Time for some awesome news! My Opera reached more than 5 million registered members last week. When we passed 4 million we figured out that we have enough members to man 3,3 Death Stars. This time we want your help, how would you illustrate 5 million members?

Add your answer as a comment in this post. The deadline for the competition is July 27. The best suggestion will win a framed signed t-shirt by the entire My Opera team!

To get you started, here are some facts about 5 000 000 people:

More than the population of Norway, home of Opera!
Enough to crew 11 682 USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) Starships from Star Trek.
Attendants enough to overcrowd the next 66 Roskilde festivals!
25 252 times the amount of Tour de France riders.

Thank you everyone for supporting Opera and My Opera over the years.

0.07% of world population.
1.5 times the number of articles in Wikipedia.
It will take 9.5 years to view about pages (@ 1 minute/page).
For we need 33.33 times the capacity of Rungrado May Day Stadium.
45 times the number of posts by me.
90 times the data consumed (MB) by Opera Mini users in last month.
224 times the number of @Opera followers.

Great...

do the guys who guessed the day my opera would reach 5 million on the "5 Million Members Countdown" get any consolation prize?
I might be one lucky guy in that case

well done. but still less members than britney spears got followers on twitter

471698,11320755 times the current Opera version (10.6).

1 million times the current Opera Mini version.

1.25 million times the number of Beatles members.

Thiago H. de Paula FigueiredoThiagoHP # Monday, July 19, 2010 3:32:47 PM

454545,45454545 football (soccer) teams.
625000 times the number of Elizabeth Taylor marriages.

My idea: E=mc² so if m is MyOpera members mass (5 million with an average of about 60 Kg every user), c is the light speed (about 300000000 m/s) and E is the energy we can say that MyOpera have an energy of about 450000000000000000 J (Joule).
So you can illustrate that MyOpera, according to the theory of relativity E=mc², with more of 5 million members is a community with an anergy of about 450 million billion Joule of energy that is 5 millions of a MyOpera user.

if we'd all hold hands, could we touch the moon yet?

Calculate and find out

A gigantic amphitheater illustration with 5 million Opera Community members at the Opera, with click on members of the month going to their profiles. On stage an Opera that is depicting a futuristic scheme - just a thought.

Danieledarklink88 # Monday, July 19, 2010 4:09:47 PM

ok, here's my idea: we are 5 million people. Assuming an average weight of 70 kg for each person we have: 5.000.000 * 70 kg = 350 million kg or 350.000 tons, wich is almost the weigth of the Empire State building!
http://www.newyorktransportation.com/info/empirefact2.html
Another nice thing could be the fact that all the people on my opera weight about 7.6 times the RMS Titanic ( wich is 46.328 tons according to the italian Wikipedia)
So it would be nice to have an illustration where the members of My Opera are compared with the Empire State building on a balance, or an image with 7.6 Titanics similar to the one you made with the 3.3 death stars!

Another idea for who likes the lord of the rings. According to the italian Wikipedia, during the battle of Pelennor (the battle for the city of Minas Tirith ), the total amount of the fighters of Mordor is about 45.000. Actually My opera users are 111,1 times their number

Congratz myopera team and the myopera community as a whole! I'm wishing myself some goodluck on this one!

Here are my entries!

1. 977.9 times the number of days after Jon von Tetzchner said , "Are you looking for an alternative to Netscape and Microsoft Explorer?"

It was on sunday I guess!

Hmmm... For me are 60 Kg but we can change it and get more energy.

5 millions =
15 kg of ants
27% of Florida
little more then the number of lines of code in KDE

According to my findings, the average human height is ~168.1 cm resulting in a combined length of ~8405 km.

That's Oslo to Phoenix, Arizona! Or Moscow to St. Louis, Missouri!

fredricsolstad # Monday, July 19, 2010 6:57:00 PM

It equals the amount of members on one awesome community. No more, no less.

Oh, and it's also about 5 times the number of known species of insects - so we outnumber the bugs

Anthony Museatlantis FletcherMuseatlantis # Monday, July 19, 2010 7:22:09 PM

I think 5 million members is an amazing achievement

Robert Jacobsenrobertj # Monday, July 19, 2010 7:23:26 PM

Fun fact: 5 million > 4 million. True story.

Congratulations on reaching 5mil plus!!!!!!!!!!!

my illustration of 5 million :

if each member of Opera feeds a hungry person on earth,
we will have 5 million people experiencing goodness.
We all 5 million members experiencing "goodness" daily on Opera.
"Spread the goodness" make the world better!
Use Opera, and stop the hunger on earth

If we all put our heights together...
- We'd stand 14 times the height of the termosphere.
- We'd cover 1/44th of the distance to the moon.
- We'd cover 1/4.5th of the distance around the equator.
- We'd stand 994 times taller than mount everest.

Uncle MickMickeyjoe-Irl # Monday, July 19, 2010 8:57:17 PM

More than the population of Norway, home of Opera!

1.02 times the 2010 estimate

KarenNerak # Monday, July 19, 2010 9:18:13 PM

5 Million?! w00t! That's awesome!

Here's my idea: If all 5 million of us were to pitch in $1, we would ALL be proud owners of this badass piece of machinery:

I call dibs on the first drive!

I have room for one passenger...who trusts me with their life?!

Bhuwan Ghimire BGhimire # Monday, July 19, 2010 9:34:40 PM

What nonsense? Opera is just looking for smart answers and everyone is just giving answers like 5 million this 5 million people, 5 million houses, 5 million that etc... heheh there can be son many things, who cares?

If you ask me, an illustration would be that Opera has evolved from a mere browser to an online communicating platform. People like the features so members are increasing. Whats all this hype about the number illustration?

Oh and just following what Opera has asked:

5 million is dread zepplins 2nd full length album.

But still this is just a trick from opera.

They asked how WE would illustrate 5 million members & that's exactly what we're doing.

Christian Dumaguingxiandlier # Monday, July 19, 2010 10:46:06 PM

just enough to connect two people at the opposite sides of the moon (holding hands, 1.1m per person's reach)

Christian Dumaguingxiandlier # Monday, July 19, 2010 10:57:46 PM

enough letters to write a million of 'Opera'; more than you can write 'Chrome', 'Firefox', or 'Explorer'

Christian Dumaguingxiandlier # Tuesday, July 20, 2010 12:10:56 AM

5 million users, attendance to 101 matches in the recent world cup (though there were only 64)

Suntana # Tuesday, July 20, 2010 12:27:01 AM

5 Million people ...
The amount of people it'll take to lay 1 potato each, end to end to give Chrome and Firefox that much of a head start to catch up to Opera's speed.
