Firefox to Transform into Social Browser
Bloggers are now talking about the transformation of Mozilla’s Firefox from ordinary browser to Social Browser:
Mozilla labs has released some details about project Coop, an attempt to transform the browser into a social network. The product will allow Firefox users to “subscribe” to friends in the browser along with avatar representation, display them in the sidebar, share and send content and webpages. (source)
Mike Arrington also revealed that the features for this new project of Mozilla are actually found in another Mozilla’s project called, “Flock”. And he said, it’s bad news to Flock.
This is not good news for the privately-backed social browser Flock (also built on Mozilla), which is yet to release a 1.0 version of its browser. Many of the proposed features and some of the mockups created by Mike Beltzner (see above) suggest a significant overlap in the two products.
Maybe Mozilla realizes that their “Flock” project didn’t really work, and found out that it will be better to transform the browser into “Flock”-like thing. This step of course will really increase the market share of Firefox browser as it competes with Internet Explorer and other existing browsers.
Just imagine how easy is your social browsing experience with this kind of browser, keeping track of your friends activities.
But with this, I am actually wondering now: What’s really the plan of Mozilla? Is it just to embed the social network function into the browser, or built their own social networking site which will work along with their future Social Firefox browser?
