Weave, Mozilla’s take on web services

Mozilla Labs has just introduced Weave, an experimental project that aims to deliver Mozilla’s vision for a web services integrated web browser.

Fortunately, this integration won’t be with a particular service provider (Facebook, MySpace, YouTube or any other). Instead, Mozilla will provide an extensible framework, a set of interfaces where other service providers can plug in to deliver their own content. At the same time, Mozilla will provide a few basic services as an extended feature for Mozilla products and as a working implementation of this framework.

Weave, is both a server application and a Firefox extension that will allow a user to host browser data such as history, bookmarks, extensions, themes and other configuration in the Weave server and be able to get it back at other location in a different device for a truly mobile experience. Furthermore, you will be able to share a particular area of your data with a specific user adding collaborative to the equation.
