After being posted on mozilla labs, the news have hit the blogosphere last week about Mozilla Coop, the new social network built upon Firefox. But when looking more closer, Coop is based on Facebook social network and using their API to login, retrieve friends … etc. So I’m not sure if the current version is a proof concept of what coop is, or is it really 100% based on Facebook, in that case better call it facebook extension for Firefox and avoid confusion since the social network Facebook already exist.

Certainly Facebook have a powerful API and many great features to make it a solid social network solution, also the Coop project’s page have the mention of MySpace, Flickr, LiveJournal while keeping the focus on Facebook. So I was wondering if Coop will be a new Mozilla Social network or new partnership to provide some service to Firefox users as extensions ?!
Users will see their friends’ faces, and by clicking on them will be able to get a list of that person’s recently added Flickr photos, favourite YouTube videos, tagged websites, composed blog posts, updated Facebook status, etc.
Anyway coop is at its very early stage and we have to wait for the second iteration to see more on what Coop really is.
