del.icio.us, Mozy, and other social and personal data storehouses should take note: Mozilla is entering the competitive landscape with some visionary ideas. The organization aims to keep the online user experience customized wherever, and however the web is accessed with its new Weave platform.
As the web continues to offer more solutions that fit the software-as-a-service model, users continue to search for methods of connecting with those solutions easily with all of their customizations intact.
To access any web service, the first thing you need is a URI. With Weave installed, Firefox would query a remote server to make sure your latest set of bookmarks is downloaded. Meet your latest competitor, del.icio.us.
According to Mozilla, Weave will “focus on finding ways to enhance the Firefox user experience, increase user control over personal information, and provide new opportunities for developers to build innovative online experiences.”
