There wasn't a specific event but the inspiration came from a book called The Filter Bubble by Eli Pariser that inspired Mozilla software developer Atul Varma to begin this project.

HELLO! Yup, Lightbeam is released and up and running. You can download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/lightbeam/ . It is free. Mozilla software developer, Atul Varma, who began this project in July 2011 was inspired by the book called The Filter Bubble by Eli Pariser. It isn't complicated to use and it continuously updates the visualization you choose. Awesome, I hope you enjoy using Firefox and Lightbeam!
