Coop prototype released


Last week we told you about Coop, an attempt by Mozilla labs to bring social networking to your web browser.

Now there is a prototype of Coop available to download as a Firefox add-on. The add-on is not what the final version will look like by far and is meant only as a way for interested parties to see what coop might look like when all is said and done. Currently the service only allows you to log into a Facebook account, but does allow you to share links, photos, and videos with your Facebook friends by simply dropping items onto their faces.

We gave the Facebook only version a try. The interface is very easy to use and it worked pretty well for sending things directly to Facebook friends. The problem of course is that not everyone has a Facebook account.

It's going to be interesting to see how this one develops, especially when Coop is able to handle users beyond the realm of Facebook.
