When I think about it, most of the people I know use Firefox as their preferred internet browser. What if the Mozilla guys decided to integrate social networking tools into the browser?
The numbers according to Mozilla and Facebook: there are 270 million people using the browser. That's 35% more users than Facebook has signed up for accounts (200 million), and almost triple the number of people Facebook says log in to the social network every day (100 million).
I would caution Firefox to really weave in the business application for this potential new social networking tool, as the browser is extremely popular in the business world. It seems to be the natural way to go. When the browser does evolve to that level, corporate websites could go the distances and get much more substance by partnering with the social browser network thingie.
Think about it, it's gold for Firefox, as they clearly already are THE social browser. We'll need to figure out how to equip business websites to take advantage of this new social media platform.
